Who cares whether it’s officially “closed” or not. It was never “open”. Go back through the low water updates and you’ll see NPS “closed” the whole north end in Jan but people found that spur and used it for the last several weeks. Now they are “closing” it again. This is a joke. People will do what they gotta do, and NPS will do what they gotta do. The north cement ramp was being used for 2 weeks while water was below the “open” level of 3525. The cement was cured and May 1 was opening date and people started launching off the gravel. NPS even had barriers at the top which people just drove around. Another joke.

We were down there and pulled out last Thursday. Exec ramp was great. At that time it was only one lane but worked great. We were told the check station was closed that day so there would be no inspection. If we wanted the boats cleaned we would have to go to Hanksville. We stoped there but it was broken. Find you own cleaning station we were told.

I'm going to
Yes! I'm going to do a trip report in a couple days.
Another government pork project comes crashing down to it's inevitable failure (mussel inspection). "Do this or we will issue you huge fines, except our station is closed and there's no way to do this." It's like working with the IRS.
please post more pictures and thanks for sharing!

Main ramp (concrete): I believe high and dry.
Spur off the left side (going down) main ramp (dirt): Was a workable option earlier this year and I would guess it still is. However, I don’t know current status. We were launched by Dry Storage from there last summer.
North ramp / exec services / ranger ramp (was dirt and now extended with concrete): Was told today by Exec Services this ramp is fully functional at 3529’ and today we’re at 3536’. I made slip / trip reservations for July, August with a prayer, and September with big doubts.
Love everyone’s experience posts and pictures — thank you!
PS … our 6th granddaughter was born this week ,,, how cool is that?!
