DOVER – DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife announced today that the temporary closure of the Phillips Landing Boat Ramp parking lot and fishing area would be extended through Tuesday, March 26 to complete the repaving of the parking lot that has been delayed due to weather. The area was initially closed on Thursday, March 21 for the repaving project.
The parking lot repaving is one of the final steps in the expansion and upgrading of the boat ramp, which has been closed for construction since November.
The closest alternative location for shoreline fishing is the Edward R. Koch Fishing Access Area, located on Broad Creek near Bethel.
