Stateline ramp

[wayne gustaveson]

From what I can find minimum launch elevation for Stateline AND Wahweap main ramp is 3558'? If Stateline is closing, is Main Ramp close to closing also? Or can Main Ramp handle a lower lake elevation?

I have found one reference that states Main Ramp functions until 3540. I hope we don't have to get that low just to check how long the ramp is viable. When I find more historic data or the lake goes below 3550, I will know more and pass the information along.

Today at Stateline. 30’ linear of concrete underwater. 3’deep at end. Looks slick and silted. After concrete stops some piles of cobble rock and silt.

Has anyone heard if there will be shuttles running from Stateline Parking lots to Wahweap Main launch ramp?

We retrieved our 19' Chaparral at Wahweap ramp yesterday. My husband said there were three more feet of concrete past the end of the trailer before it hit gravel. Not sure how far the gravel goes.
We retrieved at the south end of the ramp near the dock. The ramp seems to slope there so I would try the center for an easier launch/retrieve. I see they are still hauling houseboats up the ramp.

Anyone have any good alternatives for some desert boating this summer? I was planning on visiting Powell again the week of June 7, but I don't like the Wahweap ramp even when the traffic is distributed between that at Stateline. I definitely don't want to deal with the crowds if all launch traffic is condensed to that single ramp.

Havasu is not having any problems as far as water levels. No matter what you hear about Havasu there are a lot of places to stay away from the crowds.
