Abstract:

Abstract:Created from the sources listed below this layer displays boat launches along the two major bodies of water, the Schuylkill River and the Delaware River. These boat launched have direct access into either one of these bodies of water. Some may be private or public but are noted either way.Data Development:Points were derived from existing files from PPR information and the Access points file retrieved from the PASDA websiteCreated new attribute fields for maximum mapping opportunitiesManual data entry occuredData sources include: Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Access points from PASDA, and also several webmaps and sites listed below:http://www.jerseymarinas.com/DelawareBoatRampMap.htmlhttp://www.phillyriverinfo.org/WICLibrary/Boating%20Website.pdfhttps://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=102069143696990323692.00044ad6d5d41d2acee32http://fishandboat.com/watertrails/dela_tidal/tidal_dela_sec3.pdfhttp://www.jerseymarinas.com/ramp.htmhttp://www.jerseymarinas.com/ramp.htmhttp://www.paddling.net/launches/showLaunch.html?lid=7558http://www.philacanoe.org/locations/schuylkill-river-flat-rock-parkhttp://www.boathouserow.org/http://www.phila.gov/findrec/RecCenterDetails.aspx?ID=927Key Attributes:State: either NJ or PACounty: County in which boat launch relies inName: of the boat launchLocation: potential street name or locationPhone: phone numberType: Ramp, no ramp, etc.Fees: No Fee or Fee Notes: any notes directly related to that boat launch, may say private here or extra information regarding fees, type of boat launch, etc.Park_Prop: Y or N if Philadelphia Parks and Recreaiton property or notPark: PPR property or NWater_Body: Delaware or Schuylkill RiverFishing: Y or NDock: Y or NParking: Y or NMore_info: websiteCoordinate System:Lambert Conformal Conic, NAD83, PA South Stateplane coordinates, US Foot.Thematic Mapping:If necessary use the Name field for mapping and labelingOther Information:N/A

Purpose:

Boat launches are areas where boats such as kayaks, canoes, and or motorboats can be launched in either the Schuylkill River or Delaware River. This layer contains areas in New Jersey as well, only if they are along the Delaware River and around the City of Philadelphia's county lines. This layer can be used for programming and inventory purposes as well. Several launches lie within the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation property but this can be determined by the attribute table information. -Features updated: 7/29/2013 -Attributes updated: 7/29/2013 -Metadata updated: 7/29/2013 -Update frequency: N/A -Public = Y
