Boat Ramp Closing Monday

Just a note if you plan on boating on Lake Hartwell over the next couple of weeks.

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hartwell Lake Project Office will temporarily close the Hatton’s Ford boat ramp in Anderson County, South Carolina, beginning Monday, September 11, 2017.

The closure is to perform initial site work in advance of making future improvements to the boat ramp approach and parking area.

Workers will be taking down some trees and then hope to expand the parking lot.

The ramp is expected to be closed for approximately one week to accomplish this initial phase of work, weather permitting.

Boaters displaced by the temporary closure are encouraged to use Weldon Island access area located immediately adjacent to Hatton’s Ford.
