I hope you understand that with the current concerns around COVID 19 we are seeking to manage to ensure the safety of all our visitors. We do regret that this impacts responsible individuals and their ability to utilize our facilities as they have in the past.

Hm. So under the BEST case scenario in which EVERYONE follows the CDC guidelines somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans are projected to die of coronavirus over the next two weeks, and if EVERYONE doesn't follow the CDC guidelines we are projected to have as many as 2 MILLION American deaths, which will overwhelm the healthcare system, funeral homes, etc., and you guys are freaking out over reduced hours at boat ramps? I love to fish, but I think we all have higher priorities right now. This isn't a troll, I'm signing off. Have a nice day and a wonderful life.

I cant see how shortening hours at boat ramps prevents anything. I think it has an opposite effect. I will be glad when this is over!
