An 18" drawdown will commence on or about November 15, 2025. The drawdown will be managed until March 1, 2026 to allow the lake to naturally refill before the start of the spring recreational season.
Please note: With any drawdown and refill periods, there are risks that the desired level and refill may not be achieved within the timeframes due to weather events and conditions.
