@RRSmith - some history:
Dry Falls boat launch improvements - private funding...
Dry Falls opens March 1st - the boat launch looks like this: The channel between the reeds/bulrushes is maybe 7 - 8 feet wide. There's room at the shore for one boat at a time to stage and launch. Launching with a row boat - stand up and paddle. Not enough width to row. Fins, electric motor...www.washingtonflyfishing.com
Thanks for the background info.... When I started reading this thread - I immediately thought that federal permitting would be an issue. Artificially made lakes can bypass ACOE permitting unless you're doing something like pushing a load of rock into it with a backhoe. It's a well intended law (Clean Water Act) which ignores common sense easy fixes as in this particular case. If the Park Superintendent is okay with this fix - that's a very good thing.@RRSmith - some history:

Drill a few well placed holes and you could finish the job in 20 minutes.

Agree, the road is horrid but it's one of my favorite lake approaches. The scenery, wildlife and birds are stellar and for me the lake at the end of the road is worth it. I take it slow, and my Tundra does fine and have pontoon loaded in the bed. Only downside for me is it is my dogs least favorite road. She barfs every time.
