BESECK LAKE A 13 foot drawdown to facilitate dam repairs began October 4.

CONNECTICUT RIVER (Haddam). The Connecticut Yankee-Haddam Neck Power Plant discharge canal has been closed to public access due to security concerns.

ROGERS LAKE. The lake is currently (as of 10/16) down approximately one foot. Dam repairs are nearing completion and refill has begun, but may be slow, as the rate of refill is dependent on rainfall amounts in the watershed (and it’s been relatively dry). The launching of trailered boats may be difficult at this level of drawdown and the launch may be unusable by larger boats or those with deeper draft.

WEST BRANCH RESERVOIR (Hogback Reservoir). The West Branch Reservoir is being drawn down 70 feet to facilitate an inspection of Colebrook River Lake outflow structures (as of 10/17, down approximately 62 feet).
