Hope boat launch to close in November for renovations

By Reader Staff

The Bonner County Recreation and Waterways Department will close the Hope boat launch Monday, Nov. 2 for renovations. Renovations will include taking out the current ramp and replacing the broken precast panels with thicker and wider panels. These new panels have a better finish for traction control and durability should last much longer than the current ones. With the new panels the launch will be a bit longer with the intention to make it easier to launch during the winter months. Officials say the Hope launch will be closed Nov. 2 until Dec. 15.

Alternative launches are Pringle Park Launch in Hope, Bonner Park West in Priest River, Garfield Bay in Sagle and Laclede Launch.
