Lake Country Close Coral Beach Boat Launch

Jun 2, 2017 | 4:18 AM

The Coral Beach boat launch in the Carr’s Landing neighbourhood of Lake Country is now underwater and is closed.

Boating advisories on Central Okanagan lakes have been in place for over two weeks as levels are rising and swells in wind create more severe conditions.

Any boats still on lifts at docks should be removed. If anyone has to get a boat off the lake, the less formal launch area at Gable Road end is still available in Carr’s Landing.

Residents and visitors should continue to find wake-free options to enjoy Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake in the weeks ahead.

There is a lot of dangerous debris out there on and under the water and it is not worth putting yourself at risk trying to navigate in a motorboat.

The advice for residents who live near water is to remain vigilant about changing conditions and keep flood protection in place until further notice.
