Lake Drawdown Complete

Entergy Corporation has just completed their annual drawdown of Lake Hamilton.  Dropping the level of the lake 5 feet to facilitate shoreline maintenance and inspection, the drawdown is part of a plan to help control nuisance aquatic vegitation.  This years drought resulted in warmer than normal water temps and much clearer water enabling the vegetation to grow more abundantly, causing a problem for boaters and swimmers.  The drawdown is a very "green" way of handling the vegetation problem as nature does the work eliminating the grasses through dehydration and freezing during the coldest days of winter.

The water will return to it's normal depth in March, and until that time the smaller lake pool has  concentrated the fish population somewhat, a boon to anglers!
