With lake levels having risen substantially, the Marina Del Sur and Rock Canyon boat ramps are now accessible, and four-wheel drive is no longer required for launching or loading vessels. However, boaters should remain aware that submerged debris, sediment, and other underwater hazards may still be present due to previously low water levels and changing lake conditions. All launching and retrieval activities are performed at the operator’s own risk. Park staff continue to monitor conditions and remove hazards as they are identified. Visitors are encouraged to report any debris, hazards, or safety concerns to park staff.
