Getting Around:

Dominion Energy and Lake Management have announced plans to draw down Lake Murray this winter to help control aquatic weeds.

The drawdown is scheduled to begin this month, September, 2026, with the lake expected to reach approximately 350 feet MSL by January 1, 2027. The lake will remain at this level until February 1, 2027, after which water levels will gradually rise based on rainfall and inflow conditions.

Guests with fall and early spring reservations should be aware that lake levels will be significantly lower than normal during this period. Many docks may have limited or no water access, making it difficult or impossible for boats to reach the dock.

For reference:

Typical summer lake level: 8 feet (358 MSL)

Typical winter lake level: 4 feet (354 MSL)

Planned winter drawdown level: 0 feet (350 MSL)

We encourage guests planning to bring a boat to consider these conditions when making their travel plans. Please reach out to us with any questions or for updates on lake levels as the drawdown progresses.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to Lake Murray!
