Corps temporarily closes Gull Lake Dam and Recreation Area boat ramp

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is temporarily closing its Gull Lake Dam and Recreation Area boat ramp. 

The Corps is closing the boat ramp, commonly referred to as the government point boat access, today and expects it to be closed through the end of the month.  

The Corps’ contractor will be in the immediate area removing debris and trees that were damaged during the July 12 storm. The boat ramp will be reopened once the storm damage has been removed.

The nearly 650 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, employees working at more than 40 sites in five upper-Midwest states serve the American public in the areas of environmental enhancement, navigation, flood damage reduction, water and wetlands regulation, recreation sites and disaster response. Through the Corps’ Fiscal Year 2014 $100 million budget, nearly 1,600 non-Corps jobs were added to the regional economy as well as $155 million to the national economy.
