Surface: Watch for floating debris in the water due to the run-off. The water is also murky due to the run-off.

Launch Ramps:  The courtesy docks at the main ramp and the PWC ramp have been installed for the season. The Rock Cliff ramp remains out of the water. Please do not park in the middle of the roadway or drive off of the roadway at Rock Cliff. Vehicles are getting stuck and citations for off-road use are being issued. The Ross Creek non-motorized boat ramp remains out of the water. Remember, this is for non-motorized use only! Learn more about other Utah State Parks boat ramp conditions HERE.

Aquatic Invasive Species: You must self-decontaminate for Aquatic Invasive Species/mussels if you have been to contaminated water including Lake Powell.  You must be dry for 18 days in the spring for simple boats like sailboats and non-motorized vessels (ex. paddle boards) or be professionally decontaminated before you launch at another water body.  If you have a more complex boat with ballast tanks or in/outboard motors with unverified water, 30 days of dry time is required regardless of the time of year, or professional decontamination must be completed before you launch at another body of water.

Our decontamination station will open on May 12. WE ARE EXTREMELY SHORT-STAFFED. Please be patient while we train our new employees for the season.
