Guilmette Fishing Access Area Closed for Improvements
VERMONT FISH & WILDLIFE Press Release For Immediate Release: October 21, 2014 Media Contacts: Mike Wichrowski, 802-917-1347
Guilmette Fishing Access Area Closed for Improvements
SOUTH HERO, Vt. – The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is making improvements to the John Guilmette fishing access area on Lake Champlain in South Hero and will close the area for a minimum of two months while planned upgrades are underway.
When reopened, the area will feature an expanded two-lane concrete boat ramp with a 70-foot dock as well as a redesigned parking lot that will better accommodate persons with disabilities. The closure will begin immediately and may last through the winter, depending on fall weather conditions.
“We purchased this land nearly two years ago from private landowners who were operating the site as a boat ramp,” said Mike Wichrowski, lands and facilities coordinator for the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. “This is a great location for people to access the Inland Sea, and acquisition was a critical step in maintaining this access for boaters and anglers, but the site was in serious need of upgrades. We think anglers and boaters will be very happy to see these improvements made.”
The construction project will be funded through the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Sport Fish Restoration Program. These funds are generated as part of an excise tax on fishing equipment, boats and motors, and marine fuel taxes.
