Oct 15, 2012 - The last boat ramp open on Lake Dillon closed yesterday at the Dillon Marina.  For those boat owners that have not removed their boats from the lake there is an additional daily charge and the boat can only use the boat ramp after making arrangements with the Dillon Marina Office.

Oct 14, 2012 Lake Dillon Marinas Slips Closing for the Season Today

Oct 14, 2012 - The Dillon and Frisco Marinas are winding down regular operations.  Boat owners with their boats in a slip or on a mooring have been requested to have their boats out of the water today.

Lake levels are down about 20 feet and the ramps to the slips at the Dillon Mariana are steep and caution needs to be taken in using the ramps.  Longer ramps are on order and should be in installed for next season.  this will alleviate the steep ramps if the water level is low next season.

Let's hope for a great snow season and a full lake next year.
