Reelfoot Lake State Park has announced a temporary closure for a popular boat ramp.
Park officials say the Kirby Pocket boat ramp will be closed starting on July 28th.
The closure is needed to establish a new ramp at the site, with construction to last approximately ten weeks.
Plans call for the new Kirby Pocket ramp to be extended twelve-feet in width, making the new ramp 42-feet wide.
During the closure, park officials say boaters can use numerous other ramps, with the closet being the Sunset boat ramp 3.1-miles south of Kirby Pocket.
