Now that Paddy's Bluff ATV Park near Dycusburg is closed, most of the local off-road enthusiasts are heading to Land Between the Lakes to ride. Being a federal recreation area, LBL is subject various rules and regulations that some find restrictive. It also is subject to unscheduled closings as is the case right now.
LBL issued a news release today that says "due to rising lake levels, Turkey Bay Off Highway Vehicle Area is closed until further notice." The area just recently re-opened following an extend shutdown due to conditions created by winter runoff.
LBL said that portions of the main trail at Turkey Bay, along with the camping area, are under water at this time. Turkey Bay encourages users to call before heading that way in the future to make sure the area is open. Call 270-924-2000 or go to http://www.lbl.org/ for current information.
