Restoration Work to Begin at CJ Strike's Cove Arm

Beginning December first, Cove Arm, an extension of C.J. Strike Reservoir on the Snake River, will be getting some much needed amenity upgrades. Construction crews from Idaho Fish and Game and Harrison Dock Builders will be working in the area for at least the next six weeks. The restoration work includes two major projects. The dilapidated and now unsafe concrete boat ramp will be removed and replaced with a more modern version. A fixed boarding pier will be constructed next to the new boat ramp to allow for safe and easy passenger boarding. Cove Arm's ramp area will be closed throughout the month of December, possibly longer. Boaters wishing to access Cove Arm should launch from the ramp just upstream from Crane Falls Reservoir, or from the ramp at Loveridge Bridge. Weather permitting, all restoration work at Cove Arm should be completed before the end of January.
