Construction of a new boat ramp at North Wash, located in San Juan County, Utah, has been completed, providing essential access for boaters despite the ongoing low water levels at Lake Powell. This initiative is a result of collaboration between the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation (DOR), Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and the Public Lands Policy Coordination Office. The ramp serves as a critical takeout point for both private and commercial boaters, particularly for those embarking on multi-day river trips. DOR Director Jason Curry emphasized the importance of reliable river access for recreation, local communities, and tourism economies linked to Cataract Canyon. The ramp features a 16-foot wide access area designed for one party at a time and is built for four-wheel-drive vehicles with high ground clearance. Its surface is made of articulating concrete block mats, enhancing traction. This ramp is intended as an interim solution until a more permanent project at North Hite is completed, with alternative takeout options available at Bullfrog and Halls Crossing.
