Commission attendees said the boat access at the old Saxton’s location and the bull ramp near Fred Haight Drive remain degraded, with holes in the approach that make launching unsafe and can damage vehicles or boat trailers. Meeting participants said previous written requests to the agency did not produce a clear response.
"The holes are still there... You'll leave your muffler there too," one participant said, describing the approach. Attendees said the paved ramp itself is in good condition but the access road and approach have deep holes that require rock or grading. One attendee said a Fish and Wildlife contact in Eureka had indicated he might be able to provide some rock, but no material appeared to have been delivered.
Participants discussed whom to contact at Fish and Wildlife and recommended calling the Eureka office and asking for the staff member responsible for launching facilities. Several attendees said they would try to get the contact name and pass it to staff member Jackie so the commission can follow up. No formal action or budget allocation was recorded; commissioners said they would try to escalate the request and gather more contacts.
