Was going to put in my season-pass form for the Hudson boat launch but they have a note on the top that the launch will undergo what looks to be a major reconstruction (increasing the number of parking spots, able to be open at higher water levels, etc.). I’m wondering if that means the launch will be un-usable most of time, during the construction? Not sure I want to pay $80 and then not be able to use the launch. There is some indication the launch may not open at all until the 4th of July holiday, and then there would be ongoing construction through October in the parking area north of the actual launch?
Also, anyone have any update on the planned new launch that is supposed to open this spring, by the St. Croix Crossing bridge in Oak Park Heights? I found a few articles from some time ago that indicated it should be open this year but there was still some discussion with the railroad company for access?
