Barren River Lake

Now that the bfl is over, what's happening there?Last time I was on the lake I was flippin bushes. When will the drawdown start?

I believe the draw down is supposed to start about the 15th of Sept. That being said they sometimes start a little early.

The drawdown schedule is starting September 15 they will slowly draw down 2 ft. They do it so slowly that it normally takes them a week or more to pull 2 ft. This year September 15 is on a Sunday. In the past if the 15th was on a weekend they would start on Friday or wait until Monday. I don't know if they will do that this year but I have seen it happen like that in the past.


Then on October 15 they will open the main gate and let water out pretty good until they reach their winter pool target.

Both above statements are based on a stable water level. If we get enough rain to make a big rise in the lake it will change their schedule.
