Lake Louise developed concrete boat ramp
Lake Louise
The feel
The launch sits at the end of the Lake Louise Road near Dinty Lake. It is a double wide concrete ramp that takes both prop and jet boats up to 24 ft length, and two boats can be launched or loaded from trailers at a time.
The pads were extended into deeper water and widened, replacing a narrow, shallow old launch. A floating dock makes it safer to step into a boat, especially for people with disabilities and older users, and offers a safer tie-up for loading and unloading. The parking lot was expanded to move vehicles out of the highway travel lanes.

Mingo says
Load and unload on the floating dock rather than from the pads. The dock is the safer tie-up.
