Sections of the Celebration Boat Ramp Area in Melba will be under construction for improvements from July 14 until late spring 2026.

Parts of the parking lot, campground areas and boat launch will be closed at various stages of construction, according to a press release from the Canyon County board of commissioners. The public may access alternate day-use parking areas in the park and other camping areas at the East End Campground sites, the press release said.

The improvements to Snake River park will include updated infrastructure, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant accessibility, and will “promote user activities” at the park, the release said. The project will mark the first time in more than 30 years the boat ramp area has seen a “major improvement,” according to the release.

“This boater access spot has been used by local fishing guides, jet boat groups, law enforcement, and the public for decades,” Parks Director Nicki Schwend said in the release. “This project is going to be an upgraded, ADA-accessible design that will help us better meet the needs of all boat user groups. We’re excited for this project and for all the continued improvements happening at Celebration Park.”

The boat ramp and dock area is not expected to close until fall. Alternate boat access can be found at the Swan Falls River Access, Walters Ferry Boat Ramp, Map Rock site, and the Marsing Boat Ramp.
