Clover Island Boat Launch Will Close for Repair and Improvements July 28 – December 2015.

Kennewick, Wash. – Starting Tuesday, July 28, 2015 (after Tri-City Water Follies) the public boat ramp at Clover Island will close so Port of Kennewick can begin making improvements which include a new public restroom, paved parking, landscaping and public artwork, followed by in-water ramp replacement work. The boat launch site will remain closed until the project is complete—likely by mid-December 2015. Port of Kennewick is making the improvements to enhance the public’s water access and boating experience; and we appreciate patience with the construction process.

When: Tuesday, July 28, 2015
What: Clover Island Public Boat Launch WILL CLOSE FOR REPAIRS.
Where: Clover Island, Kennewick Washington
Why: Boat Launch improvements including new public restroom, paved areas or vehicle + boat trailer parking, landscaping, and ramp repair.
Alternatives: Several years ago, the Port of Kennewick helped fund the City of Kennewick’s nearby Columbia Park East Boat Launch. That launch is located just 1.5 miles west of Clover Island. The public is encouraged to use the Columbia Park East launch site as an alternative until the Clover Island improvements are complete.

Port of Kennewick appreciates the public’s patience with this construction process as we work to improve the quality of life and water access for our citizens.
