Expect increased traffic if you are visiting East Fork around the lake this weekend.

Some other notes
Lake users: Regatta May 16th and 17th will result in increased No Wake Zones on the northwest part of the lake, No access on the southeast part of the lake, and the USACE/dam boat ramp to be closed (all other 5 ramps will be open). Law Enforcement will be present asking boaters in the northwest portion to travel along the shoreline for the rowers' safety. The Main Beach will not be available for typical park goers use and you can expect very congested traffic/event use of most parking lots on the south side of the beach.

REMINDER - RAMP CLOSURE
The boat ramp at the dam will be closed Sat. and Sun., May 16-17th for the Midwest Rowing Regatta. Extended no wake zones will be enforced around the main beach area back towards the dam. The shoreline at the boat ramp will be open for bank fishing. The ramp will reopen by 7am on Monday, May 18th.
No other ramps are closed during this event.
