  • Hazard – Pigeon Lake day use boat launch

    Effective:  May 11, 2023   Updated:  November 14, 2023

      The Pigeon Lake day use boat launch was damaged over the winter. Ice heaves from the lake lifted and displaced the cement pads of the boat launch. As a result, the north lane of the boat launch is closed. The south lane remains open - use at your own risk.

      The Pigeon Lake day use boat Launch has the following hazards: the cement pads are misaligned, uneven with some portions broken off.  There is exposed rebar and bolts connected to the cement pads.  

      The Pigeon Lake day use boat launch is Open however the dock has been removed for the season - Use At Your Own Risk. There is the potential for damage to boats if launched under the current conditions. Those launching their boats must assess for themselves the potential impact to their personal property from the identified hazards. Those launching their boats assume all risk and liability to their personal property. 

      Planning is underway to for a significant rebuild of both boat launches.
