Summary

Beech Fork Lakes swimming area at Stowers Branch Recreation Area is closed for Memorial Day weekend due to low water levels caused by the ongoing drought. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the lake, and they need significant rainfall to raise the water levels for safe swimming. The beach remains closed until nature cooperates and brings the water levels back up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
