The mission of the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is to provide safe and convenient public access to California’s waterways.
The Statewide Ramp Repair and Modification Grant Program is designed to support public agencies in restoring safe and convenient boating access. This involves addressing public health and safety concerns caused by damage from floods, accidents, wildfires, or the need for extensions due to drought conditions at boat launching facilities funded by the DBW. The program focuses on projects like the repair or replacement of boat ramps, boarding floats, restrooms, and parking facilities for vehicles with boat trailers, ensuring continued accessibility and safety for public boating activities.
