Siletz River, April 1

On 03/30/2020, Lincoln County Deputies dealt with a fisherman boating on the Siletz River that launched at the closed county boat ramp at Moonshine Park, Logsden, Or. The drift boat and occupants were contacted at the Twin Bridges ramp which is also closed along with Moonshine Park and all other county ramp facilities due to current COVID-19 restrictions. Deputies confirmed with the vessel operator that Lincoln County Parks officially closed all county operated boat ramps due to the current health hazard, see attachement. Contact with the operator was handled as education, a citation was not issued in this incident. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all our citizens for your patience and understanding as we all navigate the current health crisis.
