USACE announces upcoming maintenance activities at Cagles Mill Lake

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District will be conducting maintenance activities at Cagles Mill Lake in Poland, Indiana. These activities are scheduled to begin mid-March and last through June 2026.

During this time, a construction contractor will be on site to repair and repaint the catwalk leading to the dam’s control tower.

For public safety, the operations area near the dam will be closed to public access for the duation of the project. This closure will be clearly marked with posted signage throughout the area.

We understand this area is frequently used during the spring for fishing and trail walking, and we appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation while this important maintenance work is completed. These repairs are necessary to ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the structure.

The times and duration of these activities are subject to change based on weather conditions and other factors. Any questions concerning the upcoming work can be directed to the Cagles Mill Lake Office at (765) 795-4439.
