An accessibility project at Sherman Reservoir State Recreation Area’s Marina Bay and Thunder Bay boat ramps beginning soon temporarily will affect their availability.
Beginning Sept. 28, Marina Bay boat ramp will close for one week so the project contractor can remove concrete and pour new concrete on Sept. 30.
The timing of this project will cause both boat ramps to be closed simultaneously for a couple of days the week of Sept. 30 as the contractor will move to Thunder Bay. Concrete removal on that ramp will begin mid-week.
The goal of the project is to improve wheelchair access to the boat docks and improve safety for park staff when moving docks during the irrigation season and removing docks before winter.
Park visitors are encouraged to call the Sherman Reservoir park office at 308-745-0230 for any updates on the project.
