Just saw this news release. With the forecast, do not know how many might be hitting the water this weekend, and I realize only a few might use this particular boat ramp, but if you do, you will want to know:
Powder Horn Area boat ramp at Merritt closed due to damages
The Powder Horn Area boat ramp at Merritt Reservoir State Recreation Area will be closed until further notice due to damage incurred this past winter.
Significant heaving from ice caused the lower portion of the ramp to break off and sink.
Additional boating access locations can be found throughout the reservoir. The main boat ramp is open. It is anticipated Cedar Bay, Beed’s Landing and Snake ramps will open as ice comes off the water and docks are put in this spring.
For questions, please contact ngpc.boataccess@nebraska.gov.
