Boating Access Sites Closing

Many boat access sites have been closed or will be closed soon on the Deschutes and John Day Rivers.  The Oregon Marine Board will be temporarily closing stretches of the rivers to all boating beginning on Saturday.  The restrictions are scheduled to be in place through April 30 and will protect boaters from entering a river system where the availability of access and take-out points is uncertain.  All boating activities on the Deschutes River will be restricted from the Pelton Dam at River Mile 97 to its confluence with the Columbia River near Biggs Junction.   The temporary closure on the John Day River extends from the mouth of the North Fork John Day River in Kimberly, downstream to Tumwater Falls, about 10 miles from the Columbia River.
