Green River Lake ramps...I drove to Campbellsville today so I went buy three different ramps and looked at the water level. What I posted earlier is correct. Around 695 Lone Valley and Butler Creek/Mt. Carmel become unusable due to high water. The level I saw today (Friday 3/19) around noon was 694. Both ramps still look usable BUT there was not much slope left. With the water rising like it has in the last 24 hours I don't see either one of those ramp being usable due to high water this weekend.
Thursday at noon you could turn around at Lone Valley in the parking lot near the restrooms. I do know that back in January or February when water got higher than what it is right now they put up a barricade so you could not turn right off the main road. There was no barricade in place Thursday but as a pure guess I could see them putting one up soon due to high water. Actually I am surprised they don't have one up anyway because per: COE press release boat ramps are open but any campground, restroom, picnic shelter, play ground, beach or public day use area is closed. All of those are just a few yards away from the ramp that is open. If they do close the ramp it is due to high water because the press release says boat ramps will remain open.
I also drove by Holmes Bend and as I said earlier it's usable but you had better have two people because if your solo your getting your feet wet. Water at all three locations look like a chocolate milkshake. I was at Lake Cumberland Monday 3/9 and it was in decent shape color wise on the lower end. As far as the Cumberland water level it's right at summer pool so it looks like Cumberland for me this weekend...and probably the next several days.
