Sandy Creek boat launch closed temporarily

The state Department of Environmental Conservation has closed the Sandy Creek boat launch in Hamlin due to high water levels in Lake Ontario.

The lake's level is 247.18 feet, about a foot higher than at this point last year, which was in line with historical averages.

The launch is being closed for the safety of the public.

A listing of other boat launch sites in Monroe County is available on the DEC's website.
