Southwood ramp

[aarchdale@coresleep.com]

Anyone have any info on the ramp, i had a buddy tell me he was down there and they moved the barriers and looked like they dumped some gravel in making a ramp. He said its not a good ramp and it drops off pretty quick but good enough for a small jon boat.

I hadnt heard anything about them ever opening it back up. I sure hope they keep it open, i miss fishing there

No, it’s the one under 65. Flood took it out and they were supposed to replace it after rebuilding the 65 bridge.

I was by there Saturday.  What aarchdale@coresleep.com says is true.  Steep gravel ramp.  Hopefully it gets maintained and/or improved.  I know 2 government agencies were fighting over who was going to pay to do it.  It's a wonder anything got done.

I agree. The city of Springfield hates fishing.

They sure love mountain bikes. Willing to spend any amount of money on miles of trail building.

Isn't that the truth.

I was out there on Tuesday. I opted to launch back near the boathouse due to the current at Southwoods. The ramp is already in bad shape with big washout gullies. I am assuming from the storms we had last weekend. A few more big storms and there won't be a ramp there.
