Time to get your boats and gear ready!! On Sunday, April 1st, the sluice gate will be closed and the flashboards installed on the dam so the lake can start rising to summer level. The speed of the rise will be dependent on rain and snowmelt, so please be sure to complete any shoreline projects by the end of this weekend.
