LONDON, Ky. (July 26, 2023) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District announces that the Laurel River Dam Picnic Area will remain closed for the 2023 season.
The picnic area undergoing maintenance work is located at 1285 Laurel Lake Road in London. During this closure, visitors can use an alternative picnic shelter with multiple benches located near the tailwaters area of the dam.
“The Corps is working daily to complete an electrical upgrade that supports the Corps’ recreation infrastructure at Laurel River Lake,” said Jonathan Friedman, resource manager of Lake Cumberland and Laurel River Lake. “The Corps will re-open these facilities for the 2024 recreation season, knowing how important these areas are to the public.”
The U.S. Forest Service, London Ranger District, also manages several other recreation areas around the lake. More information can be found at https://www.recreation.gov/ and https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dbnf/recreation/recarea/?recid=64851.
