Lopez Lake boat ramp is closing before the summer season: ‘There’s just no water’
If you were hoping to go boating on Lopez Lake after Memorial Day, there might be a small kink to your plans. The San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation Department has announced it is closing the popular South County lake’s boat launch ramp on Monday, May 16, due to low lake levels. Park Ranger Miles Tuinstra told The Tribune on Friday the closure was due to the lake’s dropping water levels. “We’ve kept it open as long as we can,” he said. “There’s just no water.”
