You won't recognize the place if you have not been in the last 3 months. Take a camera and photograph all of the stake beds and brushpiles that are 5 to 6 feet out of the water.....on the south bank from the damsite park area you can see trees that appear to be 100 ft long on their side in what I think would be the river channel. Hise Hill ramp ends 5 ft in the dry. Damsite park ramp is 3 ft in the dry and rock piles have been placed in front of it. Grass and weed growth has been good from what you can see at the launching ramps. The old Ashley creek ramp was dry and although a very shallow slope...it was 100 ft from water 2 months ago.

4 weeks ago you could still launch at the 3rd bridge ramp at Sugar Grove.
