Where to launch if Gov. shuts down/ramps clos

[Bigfishes1]

So I’ve got a couple days off starting Sunday and plan on a little striper fishing. My question is: 

If the Gov. shuts down will they close the COE ramps?

If they close the COE ramps can I still put in at Ventris or maybe the 412 bridge?

As I understand it this is a partial shutdown which does not involve the Department of Defense.  COE reports to the DOD, so I don't believe we will see any closures at COE facilities.  

But I could be wrong.  You could always call one of the COE field offices, there is one in Rogers and ask them.  

If there is a shutdown, you can still access the lake, just won't be able to use the COE ramps at the parks.

When they shut down last time they did not completely block the road to the ramps around here.

Its Christmas, they are all shut down and on vacation anyway.  Probably have a hard time finding someone to put up barricades.

Don't be skeered, its all a farce as usual.

If they close the COE ramps, you can still launch at the Hwy 12 bridge ramp since it's owned by the County or the 412 bridge ramp owned by the AGFC.  

Don't get me started on how lame it is for the COE to put barricades blocking the ramps, like they have in the past, hopefully they won't bother this time.
