Damaged Courtesy Boat Docks Removed at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area
RALEIGH -- Courtesy docks damaged by winter flooding have been removed from the Ebenezer boat ramp access at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, although the boat ramps remain available for use, according to the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation.
Over the coming months, the two courtesy docks at the Ebenezer site will be replaced, which may at times interrupt access to the ramps.
The state parks system will gradually replace all its existing floating courtesy docks at Jordan Lake with those of a different design that does not rely on permanent pilings. The Wildlife Resources Commission will contribute design and construction assistance for installation of the new courtesy docks.
Boaters that require or prefer the use of courtesy docks should launch from the Robeson Creek or Farrington Point boat ramp areas, which are open 24 hours a day, or from the New Hope access, which is open during normal state park operating hours.
