Boaters will have another option this weekend to launch their watercraft. Earlier this week, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced that construction on the Rowley's Bay boat launch near Newport State Park has been completed. While smaller watercraft have been able to access Lake Michigan, this marks the first time motorboats have been able to launch from the site this summer. The DNR is still on-site making improvements, but the work should not hamper boaters' ability to launch. The reopening comes two weeks before Door County officials close the Chaudoir's Dock boat launch so dredging operations can take place.
