Superintendent Mike Murray announced on July 20th of the reopening of two off-road vehicle (ORV) ramps on Hatteras Island.  Ramp 27, located approximately 4.5 miles south of Salvo, and Ramp 45 near Buxton are open effective immediately.

At Ramp 27, approximately 1.0 mile of ocean shoreline north and 0.1 of mile south has reopened for ORV and pedestrian access.  There currently is no through access between Ramp 27 and Ramp 30.  At Ramp 45, approximately 0.2 mile west of Ramp 45 and 0.2 mile east of Ramp 45 has reopened for ORV and pedestrian access.  There currently is no through access from Ramp 45 along the beach to adjacent access points.  The Interdunal Road is open.  Salt Pond Road remains closed.

On the Cape Hatteras National Seashore site, last report was from June 25th. It states:

Ramp 55 - Hatteras Inlet:  (Hatteras Inlet Spit: 2.7 miles)
Current Status:  ORV and pedestrian access is open along the ocean shoreline from Ramp 55 west for approximately 1 mile.  The Pole Road is open to ORV and pedestrians south to the north end of the Isabel overwash area where traffic is routed onto the beach due to a pre-nesting protection area.  Cable Crossing and Spur Road (south of the Isabel overwash area) are closed.  Access to the inlet and sound shoreline for ORVs and pedestrians, including the “Rip,” is closed due to a RESOURCE protection area.

Does anyone know of Spur Road is open again? I can't wait to fish the Rip again!
