Widewater State Park's boat ramp in Stafford County, which was closed in mid-April due to a significant buildup of silt rendering it unusable, has reopened after a maintenance dredging project. The $26,383 dredging contract, awarded to Lake Services of Woodbridge through a competitive bid, successfully cleared the ramp, which officially reopened on July 12, 2023, followed by the scheduled opening of the paddle craft launch on August 16, 2023.
