From the Marshall County Fiscal Court's Facebook page:
Please be aware that 1 side of the boat ramp at Big Bear is closed due to damage of the ramp going into the water. We are working with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife to get the repaired as soon as possible.
I guess somebody special tore up something. All the rest of us have had to deal with it for quite some time. While they are at it, they could fix Buckhorn also.
Yep. The right person messed up his boat/trailer. That's been bad for awhile now. Glad it's getting fixed.
While they are at it, a complete redo job on the Big Jonathan Creek boat ramp is a must!

That ramp was tore up the year the shin dig was held at Wiskers. The same year Chaunce an mrdux publicly humiliated me during the tournament. It was a public spanking. [emoji15]

The ski boat, tri-toon and cigarette crowd all make it a 1 lane ramp anyway. Spend 75K on a rig, at least the dealer should make sure the buyer knows how to back the dang thing up.
With some of the jokers I have seen on the ramps around here that would be an 8 hour a day, three week long course.Quote:

what wrong with our ramp at Jonathan. Unless you are talking about the ramp at Harry Waterfield park.
needs a breakwall for sureQuote:

It's a simple enough fix on the JC Ramps
Instead of buying $2000-5000.00 of electronics and other equipment then invest a little money back into the local economy by paying a ramp fee occasionally on high wind days at the local marinas. I agree the Harry Lee Ramp is in rough condition but it's been that way as long as I can remember so instead of addressing a issue that has been around for decades the more appropriate thing to ask for would be larger tiered parking lots on both sides to accommodate the overflow that continually gets worse.

Any word if ramp at Big Bear is fixed or is one side still closed?

Both sides open....with the high water there will be no worries except getting to the dock.
The lack of interest in providing good ramps and docks that work well for low profile boats is horrible. Just a diversion of tax dollars to something considered more important. Its that way about everywhere. And it's not just flood control lakes. It's gonna take a grass roots effort to move some of those dollars away from other pet projects to improving fisheries and facilities. The worse thing is the overall budget pressure. States are crying the blues about money. But at the same time the loss of revenue from tourism and local dollars spent is exacerbating the problem. Course right now the reservoirs here are going over the emergency spillways and the boat ramps are 40ft underwater. The Mississippi is just shy of its all time record. I just will be glad to get back to using any kind of ramp LOL.
Thank you for the update.
