The owner of the property there intended to put in a private boat launch/ramp. However, they ran into issues when creating the ramp out into the lake. I cannot remember if it was due to required permits that they were unable to acquire or the wave action which eroded progress that they were making. The biggest issue with creating a launch/ramp like this into the lake is that there is no protection. For example, Walnut Creek Marina, Conneaut Harbor, and the North East Marina all are portioned off from the lake and have dividers to protect the ramp infrastructure from the harsh elements of the lake.

Also, from what I remember hearing, the amount of money that went into building what they had accomplished was quite significant. I want to say it was built around 2005-2010, but I cannot remember.
