Lewiston Boat Launch

[jeb1340]

Just to let all of the steelheaders know, the Lewiston Launch will be closing sometime this winter for repairs. I do not know the date yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. I hate running from Youngstown, to Artpark, in January but it beats staying home.

The boat launch at Lewiston Landing will be closed starting October 20th for upgrades. Work will last approximately two weeks. During the closure, anglers can launch at alternative sites including the Village of Youngstown launch (limited parking capacity) and Fort Niagara State Park (50 vehicle and trailer capacity, fish cleaning station).

thanks for the heads up guys... would of really ruined my morning to drive to lewiston to find the launch closed and had to drive to the fort!

The Lewiston launch is now finished, it opened Monday morning. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of launching at the fort, the water is terrible low. I have never seen the water this low before. If we don't get some rain soon, it won't be long before those launches will be useless.
