Bart, you be da MAN.....Irregardless....(my fav fake non word) of what anyone says......



Seriously, methinks real time wordlings on site photos/comments will trump LOL anything we see a day or two later on other 'official' but not real time updated, sites....(elevations will change rapidly)

so might be useful.....

I tried and failed in search for lake level when tow vehicles will launch on concrete at Stateline Auxiliary Ramp. About 3522?

We used stateline aux ramp on the 13th to recover our 24' Slickcraft with no "0" problems with our old 2wd Silverado.Lake level was just under 3520'.

This was taken Feb 3,522.85 at Stateline Aux. There’s been an additional pour since then that I would estimate covers the first boiler plate and possibly into the second (deeper) boiler plate.

So at the same elevation, water will be on the concrete with boiler plate still serving to keep trailers out of the mud.

This is Stateline on April 8th when the lake was at 3520. The boiler plates were slick and could not get the boat out of the water without shifting into 4 wheel drive.

This was 12th of April at state line they worked on it all day we were fishing across the bay big improvement from the day before.

At what water level does the main ramp at Bullfrog become usable?

3576-3578 according to the Water Database

Only one lane of boilerplate at the exec ramp?! Wow. Us "north-enders" seem to just be ugly stepchildren to the NPS. But.......it looks like we'll be able to launch if we're patient enough. I guess we should be grateful for what we have.

Hmm, that's higher than I was thinking. Will the Executive ramp be usable at the lake levels at the "in between" levels?

There was launching off the side of the main ramp and following the old asphalt road once the level dropped below the 3576 level. The Executive Ramp is now usable between about 3620-3525 (with boiler plate allowing lower levels). Don't worry about the "in between" period, since the ramp is concrete the whole length of the launch. One thing I am interested in seeing is if UDOT will start running the Ferry again once we come above 3570.

I was looking for this yesterday and saved this.

The "spur ramp" off to the side of the main ramp was being used from about 3555 down to a minimum level of 3545.
It will be nice to have a couple launching options.

Bullfrog ramp

Just a a reminder where the grates are harder to see keep your trailer tires from going off the sides of the grates they'll shred your side walls.
