Due to rising lake levels the South Overlook Boat Ramp and Volksweg Trail near the Red Rock Marina have been closed.
Whitebreast Beach has now been closed as well. Parking at the Marina Cove is very limited due to the high lake level. There is a moderate amount of floating debris in the lake, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reminds everyone to use caution while boating.
Today, the levels have risen to above 761 feet above sea level and inflows will exceed 40,000 cubic feet per second. The lake is expected to crest at 767 feet by the middle of this month. Approximately 32% of the lake’s flood storage capacity is being used, and is at 742 feet during normal conservation pool.
