SONORA, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation will temporarily close the lower boat ramp in the Tuttletown Recreation Area of New Melones Lake beginning July 11, due to dropping lake levels associated with the unprecedented drought.

New Melones Lake Visitor Center is open for day-use and annual pass sales Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or purchase online from the New Melones website at www.usbr.gov/mp/ccao/newmelones/. For more information, call 209-536-9094, ext. 0, (TTY 800-877-8339).
