Boat ramps at McPhee reservoir will close for the season on Tuesday, October 31st. In a release, the U.S. Forest Service says that boat ramps will not be staffed to inspect for invasive mussels, so motorized and trailered boats will not be allowed on the lake until May. However, non-motorized crafts like canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards will still be allowed during the winter months.
