Bonelli Park North Shore Ski Landing
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
“Due to the extremely low water level in Puddingstone Lake, we will have to start restricting larger vessels from launching. 
The current lake elevation per the Dam Keeper is 937.65.  At that level, the end of the ramp is only 30 feet from water’s edge.  
To prevent patrons from damaging their boats and trailers, we will immediately institute a hard cap of 24 feet for boat launches.  
Additionally, any boat over 22 feet must be checked by lifeguards to ensure that they are safe to launch.  
As the water continues to get lower, we will need to adjust the allowable length down to compensate.  Please call Bonelli Park for current conditions.
