Corps implements alcohol ban at Granite Point

WALLA WALLA–The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will place a ban on all alcohol at the Granite Point recreation site on Lower Granite Lake on May 27.

Granite Point is a well-used recreation spot and has several natural and commercial dangers. Due to barge traffic, cliff jumping and swimming the narrow canyon channel are all prohibited. These activities become a greater risk when combined with alcohol. Prohibiting alcohol is designed to enhance public safety and increase the overall recreation quality of the site.
