WALLSBURG, Wasatch County — The main boat ramp at Deer Creek State Park will close for maintenance on June 2, according to a press release.

Sailboat Beach will also close for the day on June 1. Maintenance crews will use these temporary closures to "apply asphalt slurry seal and striping."

The ramp is expected to reopen on June 3, but parking and access will be limited as crews finish the project. Visitors can launch boats during the closure at the ramp located in the Island Beach day-use area.

"We do our best here at Deer Creek State Park to keep our facilities in good working condition for our customers," Park Manager Bruce Strom said. "While this may not be the most ideal for those visiting during this short time period, the work done will help preserve and protect the pavement, as well as help keep traffic flowing at a manageable pace in the area."

Visitors can check the park's social media accounts for any updates, but the park is expected to be back to normal by June 5.
