How long of a walk is it?
Best guess on how much longer will it be usable?

Best estimate 300 yards at about a 30 degree angle. Legs burning, lungs burning heart thumping out of your chest walk.

If I remember correctly it works almost forever. In the 90s the lake was down around 70 feet and we were still launching.

I am 68 and still launch @ Diable East most of the time when I am down there. Good exercise.

Try to think about an escalator at the mall when your making that walk,it kinda helps.

I believe the ramp goes half way across the lake,launched when the lake was 55 foot low. I am 70 years old and had a heart attack 5 years ago and I walk the ramp.But waiting for a ride is not a bad idea.LOL
