Harris Lake Dam

Here is an update regarding the Harris lake Dam. Construction activities on the Harris Lake Dams have commenced and should conclude around November 7th.  

 

Part of the construction will include closing the snowmobile trail to motor and pedestrian traffic while work is occurring on the plug dam that the trail travels over. This closure will be temporary while the plug dam area is an active construction site.  

 

Impacts to water levels as a result of construction are not anticipated. Lower than normal water levels are expected should the dry weather continue as higher water levels may occur if we begin to receive significant rainfall like last summer.

 

The contractor will be utilizing the public boat launch on Crown land but the launch will remain accessible to the public for the duration of the project.
