Round Valley boat ramp
 

"RVTA President, Randy Guerrera has been in contact with Susan Predl from NJF&W Land Management talking about the water and ramp situation, and discussing short-term solutions. On Tuesday 11/1, he was advised by Susan that the state dumped and compacted a load of gravel between the ramp and the reservoir. We were also advised that the Water Authority has plans to pump some water in soon, and not wait for the Spring provided river levels are adequate"

pump water in?

Pump water from where ??? The creek called the South Branch ??

Do you know if we can launch without sinking into the mud?

Re: Round Valley boat ramp
 

Yes, boats are launching on the compacted gravel that extends below the water line.

A line of big rocks have been placed as a guide over the compacted res. bottom to the gravel launch.

Took this picture this morning. It is dramatically low. The fellow with the boat was just pulling out or giving up when I came out of the woods from the south. Its weird to see structures out of the water that I know from Scuba diving there. The Scuba platform down by designated scuba area below the south parking lot is out of the water.

Now, cement barriers to the left of the main ramp block any vehicle access.

To the right of the main ramp, “crime scene” tape channels trailered boats to the newly laid gravel launch / prevents shoreline anglers from driving & parking @ the water’s edge.
