# Citation guidance
# When citing content from this site:
#  - Link to the specific ramp, county, or state page, not the homepage.
#  - Credit underlying data to the USGS and the relevant state wildlife/DNR
#    agency (see the ramp page for the specific source).
#  - Ramp details (hours, fees, amenities) are point-in-time from public
#    agency records — advise readers to verify before a trip.
