Howell Station and Ivans campgrounds are scheduled to be reopened Tuesday at Lake Red Rock. These areas were not inundated, so flooding or dam safety were not a factor, but they were closed as a precautionary measure if the rising lake pool would have caused greater outflows than 50,000 cubic feet per second, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The South Tailwater Recreation Area and Howell Station Landing are open at this time. Boat ramps that are currently usable for lake access include those at the Whitebreast Recreation Area, Marina Cove and Elk Rock State Park. Parking areas at the Marina Cove ramp are limited during times of high water. All other boat ramps on the lake are closed due to high water levels. A line of buoys has been placed on the lake approximately a half-mile west of the dam. No boats will be allowed beyond the buoy line for safety reasons. This restricted zone includes the lake area around the North Overlook Beach. Lake levels remain around 770 feet above sea level, or nearly 30 feet above normal. A steady decline is expected over the next two weeks, with higher than normal releases around 40,000 cubic feet per second continuing through the end of this week.
