Two day use areas closed due to rain reopened at Carters Lake

CHATSWORTH, Ga. — The Carters Lake Project Office in Chatsworth has reopened two of its day use areas — Re-Regulation North and Re-Regulation South. These areas were among several closed due to heavy rains and high waters impacting the region. Northbank and Ridgeway day use areas have not been affected and remain open to the public. However, the Tumbling Water Nature Trail inside the Ridgeway day use area remains impassible. “Conditions are favorable in these areas for public use,” said Miriam Fleming, project manager at Carters Lake. Day use areas still closed are Damsite, Doll Mountain and Woodring Branch. These areas will remain closed until waters recede and debris is removed.
