The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced a temporary repair to the Sandy Creek Boat Launch, Town of Hamlin, Lake Ontario, Monroe County, that will give outdoor enthusiasts access to the water. The popular boat access site was closed in mid-July due to a high lake water level. An inspection revealed significant submersion of the docks, necessitating the boat launch closure for public safety.
This morning the north section of the boat launch reopened to the public. The south section remains closed and DEC is working on a permanent repair. DEC will let the public know when the work is completed.
