U.S. Army Corps of Engineers COVID-19 Recreation Services Status
As America confronts the challenges of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), protecting the health and safety of the recreating public, volunteers and our government personnel is our highest priority. USACE is maintaining access to our projects by keeping day use facilities and lake access areas open such as boat launches, picnic areas, fishing piers, and viewing areas. These areas are, however, subject to evolving conditions related to COVID-19 and decisions may have to be made locally to close specific areas. For more information on the current status of USACE recreation area closures, we ask that you Select a State below to see current status of the USACE lake or river project before your visit. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.
