Just got here, went down to check out ramp. Looks good right now. Hopefully inflow will mitigate the HFE drop. Oh well, I'm goin fishin.

Bullfrog ramp 4/23 lake is coming up 6 inches a day. The ramp is about 1 1/2 ft under at the top. I don’t think the flush will be a problem.

Stateline Auxiliary today. 20-30' to the plates, depending on which side of the ramp you're on.

Just looked at Stateline Auxiliary Ramp. Lake level is still covering 2 or 3 sections of concrete. Lake level is dropping but there is still a ways to go. Picture was taken at 3:30 PM on 4/24/23.

Just left Bullfrog. They have a dozer at the main ramp and have knocked down the old coffer dam. That will certainly help with launching hazards when the water comes up. It may make the spur ramp a little sketchy unless they knock it down further, next to the spur ramp.

Forgot to include this video of the coffer dam removal.

This is where I saw them working last week.

Right to the edge of the cliff! I am so glad to see this!

It'll be a relief to see this new concrete covered deep enough to launch and retrieve houseboats, without having to truck everything all the way to and from Wahweap, hopefully for many years to come.

Putting Antelope Valet back in service will be a major improvement for us Antelope customers, and it will take a lot of pressure off the Wahweap facilities.

It sure bodes well for us on the south end of the lake. Now, I'm wondering how long it will take to make the same improvements at the Antelope Public Ramp? Does anybody know how much the lake has to rise to put the Antelope Cart/Pedestrian Ramp from the parking lot to the Floating Marina Complex back in operation?

You can start seeing non-trivial changes between 2023-04-17 and 2023-05-02. This gif is from Jan 7 to May 2, 2023 and contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data from 2023 and processed by Sentinel Hub. Couldn't upload too many days in this gif due to limits, but you get the idea.

Just noticed the Stateline Ramp Web Cam is working, shows the new ramp parking lot.

I saw Thelma and Louise sizing up this ramp.

Yes, it's been working for a week or two but the moved the angle. It used to show the marina but now shows an empty ramp.
I liked it better the other way

The heavy equipment that knocked down the coffer dam is now assisting with work on the grounded docks/marina buildings to the east of the ramp

Thanks for the pix. It's nice to see that the NPS is actually doing something to improve the high and dry, soon to be wet again ramp. Sq

Not sure why these ladies were using the ramp near the fuel dock at Wahweap or how they got permission or how they got around the barricades. This happened yesterday (Saturday)

Bullfrog executive ramp 05/05 & 05/06 2023
Lake elevation: 3528.5 to 3829.5

Launched around 9:30am and off around 3:30pm both days, boats are launching 2-3 wide, had no significant wait times or congestion to speak of other than normal process. Seen some larger boats launching but no houseboats. Per the advice of previous posters I dropped my trailer at one of the upper lots and was able to park right at the top of the executive ramp, probably 10 minutes round trip. Didn't get any depths but I was able to drop my motor all the way down pretty much immediately and when I walked about 6' into the water to ratchet up my boat the water was over 2' deep.

Sorry no pics

I thought this was authorized for paddle boats. Looks like a row boat.

My wife and I were just fishing around that island last Monday. Great to see it's now an actual island.

Curious what they are doing with Dangling rope. Are they repairing the foam underneath so it will float? Or does it look like they are finally dismantling it?
