The Mud Mill Pond boat ramp and adjacent ramp parking lot near Marydel in Kent County, DE will remain closed into July due to construction activities associated with Mud Mill Pond dam improvements, that’s according to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).
DNREC’s Division of Fish and Wildlife manages the boat ramp and adjacent parking lot and said that unanticipated problems at the Mud Mill Pond dam have extended the construction timeframe beyond the original estimate of a February project completion – which was to coincide with the boat ramp’s reopening.
Anglers who fish from a boat or shore from public fishing access areas can alternatively use the nearby Derby Pond boat ramp near Camden or Garrisons Lake boat ramp near Smyrna.
