NAPA, Calif. – The Lake Berryessa Field Office facilities at Capell Cove Boat Launch and Oak Shores Day Use Area will close periodically due to pavement rehabilitation projects over the next few weeks.

Oak Shores Day Use Area will remain open for the duration of project work; however, certain locations will be unavailable while crews complete improvements to roadways and parking lots.

Capell Cove Boat Launch will close for approximately two weeks between March 15 and April 2. The entire asphalt parking lot will be pulverized and repaved. Portions of the parking lot will then temporarily close in April to paint traffic lines and parking spaces.

Other launch ramps at Lake Berryessa are located at Spanish Flat Recreation Area, Steele Canyon Recreation Area, Putah Canyon Recreation Area, Pleasure Cove Marina, and Markley Cove Resort (see map at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/ccao/berryessa/maps/berryessa-map.pdf). The concession areas charge a launch ramp use fee. For information, please visit the following websites:
