Jackson lakes lowered

Written by 

Boating at Tanasee Creek and Wolf Creek lakes will be reduced while Duke Energy repairs a hydroelectric generator below the two lakes.

Both lakes are 18.5 feet below full, rendering the boat ramp at Wolf Lake useless. The current schedule calls for the lakes to begin filling up in mid-November and the generator to be back in operation by mid-December.

Lake levels can be found at  http://www.duke-energy.com/lakes/nantahala/nantahala-lake-levels.asp or calling 800.829.5253, ext. 5.

A fledgling in the woods

  • Going toe to toe with Mother Nature

    It is said that humans are fickle creatures, and if that is true, then the weather must be at least part human. For as of late, it never seems to cooperate.
