A contractor will remove sand at two Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area boat ramps leading up to the Fourth of July holiday.
To maintain boating access during low water, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has hired an excavation company to remove sand June 30 to July 2 at the Diver’s Bay and Martin Bay Low-Water boat ramps.
Both ramps will be closed to public access — one at a time — and docks will be removed during sand removal. Docks will be returned once work is completed.
The Diver’s Bay boat ramp will be closed to public access from 6 a.m. Mountain time June 30 to noon July 1. Boaters may access the Martin Bay Low-Water ramp during this time.
Then the Martin Bay ramp will be closed from noon July 1 to end of day July 2. The Diver’s Bay ramp will be available to boaters.
“The agency places a high priority on boating access,” Game and Parks’ Motorboat Access Coordinator Zachary Horstman said. “We remind everyone to keep safety top of mind, be patient and observe ramp courtesy.”
