Back in May I posted an angler access note, Lewis & Clark Access Note.

South Shore boat ramp reopens at Lewis and Clark SRA
Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area South Shore boat ramp has repened July 3, just in time for the holiday weekend.
The ramp had been temporarily closed since the middle of May after waves deposited a significant amount of sediment the South Shore inlet.
A contractor began removing the sediment July 1.
“We are excited to restore access to this heavily used boat ramp, just in time for July 4,” said Jonathan Voelker, Lewis and Clark SRA park superintendent. “We appreciate how patient everyone has been with this inconvenience during peak season.”
