Yup. Completion date has been push out to early 2007.

As of May 14, 2004, neither launch at Palmer has been improved one iota. That keeps out the ski boats, so it's not all bad!

So can Palmer still be launched into with the repairs underway? I hear its a great lake in May and June.

Steve - I discovered the Palmer Lake launch isn't slated for completion until spring of 2007. According to the WDFW, it "is not behind schedule according to the Project Agreement."
Folks - I asked about the processes involved in launch repairs/upgrades, and exactly what does the "In Progress" status mean. I think I got more information than I expected! But nonetheless, a rather thorough explanation of the process (somewhat complex).
If everyone is interested, I can post the info here. Just let me know.

Well as long as it doesn't take out my tires...or anyone else's for that matter.

Hey Rob....looks like the "Trap" is going back in as they are just rehabbing it to get rid of the rough edges and such...........sorry man!

There will not be a conflict with the Big Lake fish-in, as construction isn't slated to begin until 2005.
That said, a few 4-wheel drives at the fish-in would be appreciated. We might need them.

It looks like they ripped that grate thing from the Sawyer launch. It took out the side wall on one of trailer tires last year. That thing was a crankbait trap for the bank fisherman fishing around there. Glad to see that gone.

Aw, Jeez. Palmer's launch wasn't broke. You just better have 4wd, huh? I'll probably just keep using the beach at the campground. Thanks for the link.

Is the launch on your favorite lake in a state of disrepair? Do you feel as though it will never get fixed? Well, fret no more my friend.
Check out this handy site I discovered today. It explains, in detail, all the ramp improvement projects - completed, in progress, and proposed. It includes budget numbers and contact info for each project.
P.S. I discovered they're in the process of a major overhaul of the Big Lake boat launch (much needed!). I'm checking with the Program Manager to find out the schedule to see if it conflicts with our Fish-In this summer.
And Steve.... Palmer Lake is being fixed right now.
