The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) has reopened the Brown’s Creek Public Boat Ramp in Guntersville, Alabama, after the completion of facility upgrades.
During the closure, a new three-lane launching slab and a new 150-foot floating access pier were installed. The facility also features 64 trailer spaces, three docks, and security lights and is Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessible.
This boating access improvement project was completed through a partnership between ADCNR and the City of Guntersville. Funding for the project was primarily provided through the Wildlife Restoration Program under the federal Pittman-Robertson Act. Additional funding was provided by the City of Guntersville and Innovate Alabama, a statewide public-private partnership focused on entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation with a mission to help businesses grow roots in Alabama.
The boat ramp is just off Highway 69 on Lake Guntersville.
ADCNR and the City of Guntersville will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 3 to celebrate the completion of the renovation project. The ribbon cutting is tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. Additional information about the event will be posted to www.outdooralabama.com when available.
WFF operates 20 additional free public boat ramps on Guntersville Reservoir. For information and locations of other public access areas, visit www.outdooralabama.com/freshwater-boating-access or call the WFF Fisheries Section at (334) 242-3471.
