We are in slip here now it’s a bit of a walk but plenty of people are navigating the trail up the the lot. The walkway to the shore is not too steep. The hike up the hill is steeper. Several people have been paying (I assume or tipping? Or both) marina worker to haul the stuff down in tractor and trailer. Many are carting stuff to the boats. Ramp is great for launching and not very busy. Marina store is open 9 to 4pm no gas or pump out at halls . Hope that helps. Might snap a picture later if I go over that way to walk the dog.

BULLFROG RAMP UPDATE 6/8/23
Water level is just touching the concrete in the main ramp. It appeares it will by useable in a week maybe two with lower inflows. 3476-78 is “minimum and useable “ so about 7-9 more feet of rise. My guess they won’t open till the higher level of a bit more! Hope it gets there and stays above it for a while! Walk to parking lot I’d less than half of executive ramp,
Spur ramp is very useable with a courtesy Dock. Better launching is about 50 feet to the right as you look at it. Right next to the dock it is very flat. Saw a truck backed in all four wheels wet to get boat on . From previous use and also you can see old road grade drops of steeper . Launched 22 foot boat no problem front wheels were
Still dry. Here are some pics. Heading out hopefully fishing tomorrow!

Halls Marina walk is not bad. Lots of people carting stuff down even saw one suv pull down dirt road and unload right at the ramp to access marina walkway? Not sure if allowed? I walked up to parking lot and there was an authorized vehicles only sign laying flat? There was a sign at top that said no parking unload only, but you could drive by it? Anyway not bad access to marina. Boat ramp is fine and not crowded. Marina hours 9-4 no gas, or pump out etc. Store is sparsely stocked. They need a resupply on many basics. They do have ice and basic frozen food items ice cream, beer water and Soda, the snack bar is not open for season?

BULLFROG SPUR AND MAIN RAMP UPDATE 6/13/24
Spur launching is great, still best to launch a bit to the right as you look at it. Courtesy dock in place. It may not be usable in a week or so BUT at the point it no longer works Bullfrog Main will be usable and Should be fine for boats of all sizes with another 5 feet “ish” of rise.
Could possibly be using Main by this weekend?
Here are some pictures from this morning first picture of Bullfrog main from 6/9 second from 6/13 this morning.
Spur pictures from this morning.
I sure hope the lake keeps riding so once the main opens it will be usable for a long time. Keep the inflows coming!!
