The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has announced the partial closing of Laurel Ridge Trail on Lake Lanier and the full closing of Lower Pool East Park because of construction of a new foot bridge. A few days ago, the corps said opening of another park would be delayed until the middle of next month.
USACE NEWS RELEASE:
“…all portions of the Laurel Ridge Trail south of Buford Dam Road will be closed. The trail will remain accessible north of Buford Dam Road, but it will not form a complete loop during this time. Access points at Lower Overlook Park and Buford Dam Park will remain open. The closure is expected to continue through June 28.
Lower Pool East Park, which normally opens for the recreation season in late March, will remain closed until the project is completed. The park and surrounding areas will be inaccessible for the duration of construction.
As 97.5 GLORY FM reported a few days ago, Bald Ridge Campground will have a delayed opening this Spring. That story here: Delayed opening for one Lanier campground
