It's now past the May 1st deadline and I can't find any reliable information on the bullfrog north boat ramp situation.
I've heard possible boiler plates installed. Waiting for water to rise to 3525' removing coffer dam, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wayne's Ramp Pictures?

Hello, Can someone post some pics on how that axillary ramp at State Line looks now? With the docks? And, are they still doing any additions or construction at the moment? Seems the lake level has stabilized...all lanes should be open? Any special rules for the ramps and parking and such? We...

Adam -- It appears the coffer dam is down -- Technically the ramp is not open -- That being said there are pics on Facebook showing a van and one other vehicle either launching and/or retrieving boats as of yesterday on the north ramp ---- No the boiler plates have not been installed - though there is cobble extending about 8' out past the concrete -- looks doable to me

- Boaters are also launching from the dirt near the old ramp but that could prove dicey depending on the type of truck you have -- due to soft mud etc....

No one has mentioned not being allowed to use "the closed" north ramp that I'm aware of

hope that helps
 
I just boated past there literally 30 minutes ago I'm currently in Bullfrog in my Porta Bote but going back out to the main Channel, camping in Halls Creek. I'm posting this floating in the water on my boate about a hundred yards from the old Dangling Rope Marina. Still have service thought I would throw up an update. No boiler plates at the bottom. I also took some depth readings I'm going to post more on all kinds of depth readings from Bullfrog later. About 50 ft out from the bottom of the ramp it's like 4-5 or 7 ft deep. About 125 feet out it's like 14-15 ft deep.

I saw two people retrieving from Executive on Saturday I didn't see anybody getting tickets but there weren't any Rangers around the time. I launched the Porta bote and I have a jet ski off of the dirt ramp at the bottom of the name rain ramp. Lots of fishing boats in the 18 to 22 ft range launching off of the dirt ramp.

Hope this helps.

I've heard others ask the same question and don't know the answer. I also didn't check how far out the plates extend below the water.
 
FYI there is a drop off on the side of the concrete nearest the dock ( left edge if you’re facing the water). Not a big deal but it makes centering the boat on a tilted trailer more difficult and also is a little harder to pull out. This will not be an issue as the water comes up, though.
 
Where are they allowing boaters to park their tow vehicles? working on coming down early friday, wife is a bit anxious about rocks etc but I told her you all have mapped those already:)

On the Executive Ramp side: In the regular trailer parking areas- not past the signs at the top that say “No Trailers”.
On the Main Ramp side dirt launch: anywhere on the dirt, but water is coming up so fast I would NOT park down there now!!! Not even sure you can safely drive there anymore.
 
Thank you for all your guidance, we got there at ten and were fortunate to get a spot on the third level(all the way up}
quite the walk, but it was worth it.
