| MIDDLETOWN ACCESS TO CLOSE PENDING REPAIRS |
| July 31, 2007 |
 |
| Note: The Middletown Access Area
re-opened in October 2007. |
| The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
announced today that the Middletown Access Area in Dauphin County is being closed to public use pending
repairs to the boat launch ramp.
The existing concrete plank boat launch ramp has deteriorated and a sinkhole
has formed, making launching and retrieving a vessel from a trailer difficult. The Commission intends
to replace the existing ramp with a poured concrete ramp, pending the availability of funds.
The access
site is located at the foot of Union Street in Middletown, where the Swatara Creek enters the Susquehanna
River. Boaters and anglers looking for alternative boat launch sites in the area can visit the “County
Guides” section
of the PFBC’s
web site at www.fishandboat.com. |
