    I hope the State Parks participate in the eradication effort as available to “water front” property owners. This non-native invasive weed is completely changing the lake camping experience.

    Mike,

    There is some positive news soon to be released from NC State Parks. Evidently, Kerr Lake Recreation Areas will receive some help in the fight against hydrilla.

    MORE TO COME!

    Please advise as to how low the Corp is intending to lower the lake as enough is enough.
