The boat launch is closed until further notice due to the low water level on the lake from the scheduled drawdown. The boat launch will reopen once the water level rises enough to safely launch a boat.
The Lake Bruin Lake Commission began drawdown of the lake Sept. 1, 2022. For more information about the drawdown, go to the commission's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/lakecommission
