The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) announces that the Mount Vernon Public Boat Ramp in Mobile County will close beginning the week of August 12, 2024. The boat landing and associated facilities will be closed for major facility upgrades. Upgrades will include a new launching slab, new access pier, expanded parking area, and a new tournament weigh-in pavilion.
The facility is anticipated to be closed about three months and will reopen immediately following the completion of construction.
The project is funded through an allocation by Alabama Governor Kay Ivey from GOMESA (Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act) funds.
