BAKER CITY, Ore. – Effective today, November 6, 2018, the boat launch ramp, restroom and associated facilities at Mason Dam on the Whitman Ranger District are closed for public safety until further notice, as contractors begin work to improve the experience for boaters and other visitors to Phillips Reservoir.
Contractors will remove the existing asphalt boat ramp and replace it with a more durable cast-in-place concrete ramp. The $275,000 project is funded through a partnership between the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and the Oregon State Marine Board.
Construction is anticipated to be completed by December 15, weather permitting.
