IDNR Report

After experiencing years of wear and tear over the years, Lake Webster’s Backwater’s boat ramp was ready for an upgrade.

To complete the project, Indiana DNR Public Access employees tore out the ramp and replaced it with newly constructed precast slabs. The longer ramp extends farther into the water to better protect against the effects of power loading. Along with the boat ramp, the employees re-striped the parking lot.

Public Access also plans to add a new launching pier on to the site, and they will refurbish the current pier during the winter. Similar projects in northern Indiana are slated for West Otter Lake, Pretty Lake, and Bear Lake this year.
