I responded to Luke with this same e-mail and I hope everyone reads it:
My guess is the flood warning. Due to the high and dangerous flood levels, they shut the ramp down to avoid having people use their boats on the river.
Also, on Grizzly’s way down to work today, he took a look at the Duck Pond and those 2 dead trees that are normally visible by the culvert that drains the pond are no longer visible. They’ve either moved, or the water is so high they’re covered.
Give that some thought as to whether or not closing the boat ramp would be warranted.

Barricades every morning? I clearly don't go to work early enough!

I have had the same problem with the barricades in the past few weeks, prior to Sandy. I am pretty sure they are just there to keep people out when the park is closed. In the past, if it was after 6:00 (or reasonably close to that), I just moved the barricades to the grass, parked, and went fishing.
However, as others pointed out not getting out on the river this morning was probably the best outcome.

Does anyone know why this is? I haven't gone there this early during the week before but I can't imagine that they keep it closed until later in the morning. Any insight? This stopped me from fishing and I'd love for it to not happen again. Thanks.
