Astoria, OR – According to the Oregon State Parks officials, Lake Billy Chinook will reportedly experience temporary lower reservoir levels as PGE and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs complete planned maintenance and repairs to Round Butte Dam.

The reservoir will be held at a lower level until mid-April, but boat ramps at The Cove Palisades State Park will still be accessible.

The docks will sit lower in the water than usual, which means potential boat contact with rocks and debris. The ramps will also extend farther into the reservoir exposing potential drop-off points.

Please follow posted signs for the best docks and ramps to use and exercise patience with fellow boaters if there are longer wait times.

PGE will begin refilling the reservoir when construction is complete and anticipates that Lake Billy Chinook will reach regular summer levels no later than June 5, 2024.
