Wakulla County moves to close Lake Ellen boat ramp

## The move Wakulla County is moving to close the Lake Ellen boat ramp, ending a public-access dispute that has lasted for years.

The development concerns the future of access to the ramp at Lake Ellen. Closing the facility would change how the public reaches the water from that location.

## The dispute The disagreement centers on whether the boat ramp should remain available for public use. The issue has continued over several years before the county’s move toward closure.

The county’s action places the ramp’s future before a formal local-government process. Any decision to close the site would resolve the access question by ending use of the ramp as a public launch point.

## What comes next The next steps are the county’s formal action and the timing of any closure. Those steps will determine when the Lake Ellen ramp stops serving public access.

The development was reported by WTWC FOX.
