EAST PORTAL ROAD

East Portal Road is open.


 

SATELLITE BOAT RAMP CLOSURE
Beginning immediately, satellite ramps, such as Dillon Pinnacles, Ponderosa, Wilson's Landing and the Wind Surfing Area, will be closed to launching and retrieving of motorized watercraft. This effort will allow for better monitoring of launch areas for non-Mussel free certified vessels and will increase the likelihood that Blue Mesa will remain mussel free. Iola boat ramp will close when Stevens Creek campground reopens in May. By mid-May, the only launch areas will be Elk Creek Marina, Lake Fork Marina and Stevens Creek Campground.
