Newly reconstructed fishing platform in Dunkirk Harbor
Construction of a new fishing platform has been completed in the Dunkirk Harbor.
The State Department of Environmental Conservation announced the newly reconstructed and reopened fishing platform features slip-resistant decking, two benches, solar-powered lighting, and parking for eight cars. It replaces the previous platform damaged by a Lake Erie storm surge in 2020.
Located on the west side of Dunkirk Harbor, the fishing platform offers anglers access to a variety of Lake Erie sportfish throughout most of the year.
The $156,201 project was funded by NY Works and through the efforts of DEC’s Region 9 Bureau of Fisheries and Division of Operations, the Lake Erie Fisheries Unit, and the Bureau of Design and Construction.
Waste of $$$ since nobody fishing there anymore since NRG left
