I have not got any new reports on Little Lava. It was good when I was there last. 
I also don’t know if the rumors that the gate would be locked blocking access to the Big Lava ramp happened. The Local USFS website is so out of date it still shows docks are in where they have obviously been pulled so we can’t trust their website anymore than we can trust them to provide services for us and prioritize our seasons for usage. Grrrrrr.
