Effective immediately, access to Rattlesnake Island is restricted. This urgent measure is in response to both the upcoming July 4th fireworks celebrations and unusually low water levels. The primary goal is to safeguard sensitive cultural resources that have become exposed by the receding water, while also managing public safety during the holiday period. The closure will be lifted when water levels rise after the winter season. Please obey all posted barricades and signage. Failure to do so will result in citations and/or expulsion from the park.

Please be advised that the South Monticello and Rock Canyon boat ramps are currently closed due to low water levels. We anticipate reopening when water levels increase, and conditions allow.
