In the mid-1950s, the Lassen National Forest Service inconjunction with Lassen County officials began the planning process to make improvements at the south shore of Eagle Lake, since it still remained in its primitive state. One of the top priorities was the development of a marina near Gallatin Beach. The county leased the property from the forest service and in 1961 completed the marina. The following year, the county sub-leased the operation to Richard Gentry. In 1970, due to the rising level of the lake, the boat harbor was revamped. Upon completion it was named the William W. White boat harbor, for former Lassen County Planning Commissioner who was an ardent supporter of the project.
That’s crazy that they had to raise the boat ramp! Now we have the low water boat ramp.
