Downing's Landing launch ramp closed

Fish and game docks closed at Downing's Landing. Docks are piled on the top of the ramp.

Sure would have been nice to get a little advance notice 🤔

I did not see anything on their website.

Can you still park there and just use the other ramp by the town docks?

As of late yesterday, the entrance into the parking lot was not blocked off.

Depending on wind, I may park my vehicle and trailer on the road, how get the boat, and recover at the town ramp. Shouldn't be a problem for the short term with nothing going on in the bay. Even Shibley's at the Pier is closed.

F & G responded to me and informed me the ramp is still open, but no docks. Reminder; approaching the ramp on the lake, there are pilings where the old docks were. Use caution.

Dave, thanks for the heads up. I seem to remember reading that those pilings were removed or cut out this past summer. Some dive company took care of it possibly.

Nope. There is a orange ball marking the group of pilings that were at the end of the pier.
