Rain Saves Boat Ramps at Cherry Creek | Denver News

Cherry Creek State Park was on the verge of shutting down its boat ramps due to dangerously low water levels—just inches from calling it quits for the season. But a weekend deluge saved the day, pushing levels high enough to keep boating alive for now. Park staff were literally one day away from closure, and longtime fishermen like Jerry Stigall were panicking over lost access. While rain helped, evaporation still drains about two inches weekly, and exposed hazards near ramps demand caution. Officials hope the wet spell buys them extra weeks, possibly through Labor Day—with only one ramp planned to stay open after September 12th, pending weather.
