Sorry for the inconvenience again, but mother nature and the army core of engineers have not been nice to us this memorial Day weekend. We have too much water in the river and it is not safe conditions so we will be closed today at the river location. We will try again next week.

But on the other hand, Laurel Hill State Park Lake operation will be open today, Monday Memorial Day 2025! 10 AM to 5 PM come to the state park and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.!

Due to high water and challenging conditions on the river these next few days, we will have to cancel and close our operation at our River location, but we're excited for a brighter future. We should be able to reopen for Memorial Day weekend, so now is a great time to make your reservations. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the sunshine.
