Fontenelle Boat Ramp to Close

The boat ramp at Fontenelle Reservoir Dam will be closed temporarily for upgrades.
Wyoming Game and Fish Department Green River Fisheries Supervisor Robert Keith says the department is using boating access monies to upgrade the boat ramp on Fontenelle Reservoir near the Dam.
“To facilitate upgrading the boat ramp, the boat ramp and the area leading into the boat ramp will be closed in the near future and will remained closed for the months of November and December,” Keith said. “The project includes extending the concrete portion of the existing boat ramp up the hill to the area around the outhouse. This project will eliminate the problem of vehicles sliding on the gravel portion of the exiting ramp and should significantly reduce the problem with gravel accumulating on the concrete portion of the existing boat ramp.”
“Barricades and signs will be posted, redirecting boaters to launch at the Fontenelle Creek boat ramp throughout the course of construction. November is typically a low-use period for boaters on Fontenelle Reservoir. By conducting the project in November the Department is hoping to inconvenience the fewest people.”
