 Boaters who use the Zippel Bay State Park boat access and harbor parking on Lake of the Woods will need to find an alternative launch. The boat ramp and harbor parking at Zippel Bay State Park will be closed through September 8th for construction projects that will improve park facilities. The area will open temporarily for the Labor Day holiday weekend during construction. The rest of the park will remain open for camping, swimming, hiking, birding and picnicking and whatever else you so desire.
