Laurel River Lake levels are currently 10ft below normal summer pool. Water access walkways and boat ramps may be steeper than usual, and potential unusable, until water levels rise. Before you load up your boat for a visit, be sure to:

✅ Check current lake levels for Laurel River Lake. Normal summer pool is 1015 ft.
✅ Confirm the status of boat ramps and water access points.
✅ Contact your chosen marina directly to confirm operating status as concessionaire-operated marinas may close or offer reduced services during this time.

Check the comments for helpful links to help you know before you go on your next boating adventure!
