Diablo East Marina Cove, Scuba Cove, and Walkway Access Are Closed

The Diablo East Marina Cove, Scuba Cove, and walkway access are closed because of the presence of excessive docking material, unsafe walkway and dock, and unstable, loose ground. The area will reopen once these hazards have been corrected.

Only Left Side of Diablo East and Rough Canyon Boat Ramps Are Open - Rest Are Closed

Due to low water levels, only the left side of Diablo East and Rough Canyon boat ramps are open. Please use caution with Spur 406 and Spur 454 launches, as the water may be too shallow to launch most boats. To see a list of open ramps, click on "more."
