Coulee Dam – Beginning July 13, 2020 the National Park Service will be conducting geotechnical work on the Spring Canyon boat launch seawall. Core samples will be taken to evaluate the soil structure for future repairs of the existing seawall. During this time, the lower parking lot of the Spring Canyon boat launch will be closed for the staging of drilling equipment. The upper parking lot will remain open.

Please ensure that all vehicles are moved from the lower parking lot of the Spring Canyon boat launch no later than 12:01 am, July 13, 2020. If you are planning a multi-day trip on the lake during this time, refrain from parking in this lot.

This work is expected to take one day, but may take longer pending any complications. Once work is complete the lower parking lot will be reopened.

Updates to this project will be posted to our website and social media channels.
