Veterans Park Launch
Currently Closed
Due to the sustained high water levels, the Vet's boat launch & a large portion of the parking lot are closed and will remain closed until water levels recede for good.
Driving on the flooded parking lot is not good practice as this only causes more damages and causes more problems long-term. The flooding and vehicle traffic have already caused some damage to the parking lot. We are trying to preserve our assets and infrastructure so they are still useable once the water level recedes to normal conditions. Vet’s park boat launch will remain closed for the foreseeable future.
