Bad Ramp at Beaver Creek, Barren River

[Grumpy]

In another post I mentioned how I got stuck on the extremely slippery ramp at Beaver Creek. I hadn't used that ramp in a couple of years because of how bad it was, especially for those with front wheel drive, bit I thought I would try. Yep, I got stuck but thankfully a fellow helped me. I got on the front of the van and he drove us back up the ramp. Dangerous, I know, but that's the only way I can do it without having to buy new tires. Anyhow, Justfishing repled to that post and said:

"I have been talking to some of the Rangers(corp) about the maintence of the ramp there at Beaver Creek. I ask when they were going to attempt to resurface the ramp so that those of us who use it could get a boat in or out with out having to go to the Tire Sales after 2 trips up the ramp or have a transmission rebuilt. The answer to my question, we really do not hear that many complaints about it. They have a new lake manager there again. I think the third in 4 years. He said if enough people complained about it, he could justify the money being spent. So those of us who use this ramp contacted the corp office and made it known that there is a problem it might get fixed{might}. The Phone at the office is 270-646-2055.

So if you like to fish Beaver Creek and you take just a few minutes to call and let them know that it needs to be done, we might just get things changed for the better."

So, if you have ever been stuck on the ramp at Beaver Creek, please take a few minutes and call the Corps office at 270-646-2055 and complain, just maybe we can get them to resurface it.

Thanks,

I'll call and make a complaint for ya, I have never been there but like other peeps say, if enough people complain about something, then maybe a new surface will be put down...

I called and reported bad conditions for ya, hope it helps, the Corps fella I spoke with said that more peeps need to call in and complain, and that would help speed up the getting of monies to resurface the ramp....The Guy also said that the Beaver Ramp was one of the first that was to be resurfaced, if that is any news to you...


Always glad to help out fellow fishermen/women......

Thanks, MsgMills, he told me the same thing when I called this morning. Of course, I think the guy I talked to a couple of years ago told me that also but apparently this is the third manager since then. I like to fish Beaver and Skaggs creeks but I don't think I'll use that ramp again until the do something with it. Thanks again,
