I had a friend who lived on Weakley near there. He said the ramp was closed 20 or so years ago due to it being one of the lower used ramps in the area compared to Fate Sanders, Lamar Hill, etc. Budget cuts is what he said. He did say when open there were a lot of vehicle break in's, assaults, fights, etc. down there. I don't think that land is part of Long Hunter State Park unless the Corps of Engineers deeded it over to them in one of the "government land deals". I think the land is still owned by the Corps. I am in that area frequently and I have never seen State Park Rangers or other personnel in there. I have seen RCSO coming out of that road from time to time. Typically, the Corps relies mostly on the Sheriff Dept to patrol their areas vs. State Parks who has their own Rangers.
