NAPA, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation, Central California Area Office, will temporarily close the Capell Cove Launch Ramp at Lake Berryessa effective Monday, Aug. 8,
2016, due to drought conditions and receding water levels. The launch ramp will be re-opened when lake levels rise.
The parking lot and small picnic areas at the Capell Cove Launch Ramp will remain open. Additionally, hand launching of kayaks, canoes and other small
craft will continue to be permitted.
