Notice to Vessal Operators for April & May 2025
For the Mentor Harbor Entrance Channel

Shoreline Contractors, under contract with the Lake Development Authority will be reconstructing the Mentor Harbor Entrance Channel during 2025.
 
During April and May of 2025, Shoreline is scheduled to be reconstructing portions of the West Channel wall. As a result, all boating traffic is restricted to only using the Eastern side of the existing channel.

The drawing of the Entrance channel has been marked so as to graphically illustrate to vessel operators the portion of the Entrance Channel that will be available to boaters during the months of April and May of 2025 for entering and exiting the harbor.

The color Green designates the existing original steel Entrance Channel Wall Structures.

The color Blue designates the portions of the Entrance Channel that are available to vessels for safe navigation..

The color Red designates the portions of the Entrance Channel that are restricted from use by any vessel due to the dangers associated with the reconstruction operations currently underway along the West side of the Entrance Channel.

As the year progresses and the reconstruction work progresses, the Entrance Channel Safe Navigation alignment will shift. Future Notices will be issued to provide vessel operators with directions regarding the progressive realignments.

Please note that the harbor entrance is on the right side of the diagram below.
