High water on Green River Lake

A maintenance project at the tailwater area of Green River Lake dam prevented the usual water release in December, and Green River Lake is currently over 31 feet above winter pool. This week, the Corps has been working to release water as we enter a statistically wetter period of the year. On January 4, 2020 the Green River Lake - US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District facebook page announced that they "will be opening up to 18 tenths on the main gates with an outflow of around 6,800 cfs by days end."

The Tailwater Recreation Area remains closed to the public at this time. Due to flooding conditions, Site 1 boat ramp, Smith Ridge boat ramp, and Wilson Creek Recreation Area remain closed at this time.

Larry J. Smith, General Manager, The Big Dawg, FM 99.9 radio, got out to the lake yesterday to collect some photos. Click headline for album.
