The Stateline fuel dock will close on November 1. The north entrance to Wahweap will close October 26. This closure will only affect traffic entering the park.

Fuel will not be available at Dangling Rope during this period. Boat fuel will be available at the Antelope Point, Bullfrog, and Wahweap marinas throughout the winter months.
