Blue Notch camping Closed

[Garry]

Was there from March 22 -30 . Game and fish came to camp on Sunday the 29 and said the county was closed to all camping . Fine will be $680.

Thanks man, hope you caught some fish before you had to leave !

It sounds like people need to camp on the North side of the lake. Utah county maps show the Colorado River being the North boundary of San Juan County. San Juan has banned camping, so, camping on the North shore is out of their jurisdiction. Sq

 

[Phil]

Is the north side still open for Camping? What about the San Juan?

 

[Phil]

Can San Juan county ban camping on the shore that borders the Navajo reservation?

Isn't Blue Notch camp spot inside of Glen Canyon Rec Area? Seems like the ideal place for social distance compliance.

Did you have a truck or just a boat?

The county flipped from republican to democrat last election. Not unrelated.

Keeping people safe is bipartisan! It sucks but having an injured boater climber or hiker in one of these small town hospitals takes up a very important bed right now , ops not normal

So did they say you cant camp anywhere on powell or whats up?

It's always been my understanding that the GC Rec Area boundary is 1/4 mile beyond the high water line. I don't have a factual basis for that claim but NPS, the Navajos or BLM ought to be able to answer the question. Chuck

 

[Capt. Ron]

Just wondering what the rangers that kicked them out of blue notch said ? What exactly are they enforcing? I’m sure they told the guys that got booted what the exact criteria is. Seems to be alot of different info on all this . Knowing the rangers words might help

 

[tt600]

If boat campers are getting booted it will speed up the closure that much sooner because all the houseboats will be stuck on the North Shore. Keeping social distance will be that much tougher. If it’s just truck campers this is a minor issue.
