Rainfall Aids Plan to Reopen Conchas Lake Ramp
Heavy rainfall of over four inches raised Conchas Lake water by three feet enabling Army Corps of Engineers crews to push toward opening the South Recreation Area boat ramp by the Fourth of July weekend. A 32 foot concrete extension is in place and a temporary ramp may reach 80 feet into the water with 20 nearby campsites available if opened.
