The Powder Horn Area boat ramp at Merritt Reservoir State Recreation Area will be
closed until further notice due to damage incurred this past winter.
Significant heaving from ice caused the lower portion of the ramp to break off and
sink.
Additional boating access locations can be found throughout the reservoir. The main
boat ramp is open. It is anticipated Cedar Bay, Beed’s Landing and Snake ramps will
open as ice comes off the water and docks are put in this spring.
