The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) will temporarily close Claiborne Public Boat Ramp on the Alabama River off Highway 84 near Monroeville for renovations beginning Wednesday, September 25, 2024.
During the closure a new two-lane launching slab will be installed. The parking lot will also be expanded by approximately three times its current size. The renovations are expected to be completed in approximately three months. A reopening date will be announced when available.
This is a joint project of ADCNR and Monroe County, which provided the services and labor to expand the parking lot. Funding for the project was obtained through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is supported through excise taxes on the sale of outboard motor fuel and fishing equipment and through the sale of Alabama fishing licenses. Additional funding was provided by Innovate Alabama, a statewide public-private partnership focused on entrepreneurship, technology and innovation with a mission to help businesses grow roots in Alabama.
Anglers and boaters who would like to obtain more information about this and other public boating access areas provided by ADCNR should visit: http://boatramps.dcnr.alabama.gov/ or call the Fisheries Section at (334) 242-3471.
ADCNR promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. Learn more at www.outdooralabama.com.
