Read the hours as gate hours
The county page labels the 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. schedule as gate hours. Other displayed hours are ambiguous, so this guide does not broaden the claim.
Ramp and beach status are different
A low-water closure of the boat ramp does not automatically close the beach. Conversely, an operating ramp does not establish swimming conditions. Check the park's facility notice for the feature you plan to use.
