York County Bars Pontoon Boats From Allison Creek Park Ramps

Low water levels from drought conditions have led to boat trailers getting stuck, prompting a temporary restriction.

York County has temporarily restricted pontoon boats from launching at the boat ramps at Allison Creek Park, according to York County.

The county said ongoing low water levels caused by drought conditions led to incidents where a tow truck was required to remove boat trailers from the water.

The restriction is meant to keep park visitors safe and protect their property, according to York County. The county did not say how long the restriction will remain in place.
