The South Overlook boat ramp at Lake Red Rock is closed until further notice due to high water. The portion of the Volksweg Trail around the Marina Cove bay is also closed.
Boat ramps currently usable for lake access include those at the Whitebreast Recreation Area, Marina Cove and Elk Rock State Park (just off of Highway 14) and Howell Station Landing for river access below the dam. Be aware parking areas at the Marina Cove ramp are very limited during times of high water.
