Cottonwood-Steverson WMA boat ramp to close for repairs

The boat ramp at Cottonwood-Steverson Wildlife Management Area, located north of Hyannis in Cherry County, will close temporarily starting Oct. 2 so repairs to the boat ramp may begin.

There has been significant undermining, settlement, and separation of the boat ramp and concrete sidewalk to the point that it needs to be repaired.

Construction is expected to last one week; however, the ramp will remain closed for an additional three weeks or until the concrete has had adequate time to cure and support the weight of vehicle traffic. 

This project is made possible through a Sportfish Restoration grant. Questions can be directed to ngpc.boataccess@nebraska.gov.
