[QUOTE="Allen, post: 343737, member: 389"] Yeah, I don't know if I like the window stamp idea, much like the State Park pass. They only give you one pass, but I have two vehicles capable of towing the boat. I have to imagine quite a few others also have multiple vehicles capable of towing. Years ago, there was a deposit box at the New Town Marina for ramp use. Yeah, it was pretty much voluntary as far as I could tell because it wasn't like there was any way to know if the vehicles at the ramp had paid or not. Basically, I suspect that unless it's gated with an attendant, there are far too many schmucks that think "why would I have to pay for using this ramp since that's what my fishing license fees should go to". And then they complain there aren't enough ramps for their own favorite little lake. We should also remember that many of the ramps across the state, while mostly paid for by NDGF monies, also need some form of maintenance. In that sense the NDGF often partners up with some local entity (county park board, local wildlife chapter, etc, etc). So you can probably up the chances of getting a ramp on your favorite body of water by talking to the local park boards, etc. [/QUOTE]
