Milford Lake experienced extreme high water in 2019, with the lake level the second highest in the history of the reservoir. Damage repairs have been under way since then.
During a Milford Lake partner meeting this week the Operations Project Manager for the Corps of Engineers, Bill Whitworth, noted most recently a pair of popular camping loops have been upgraded to 50-amp service so that will help a great deal with the RV'ing public." Those loops are in Curtis Creek and West Rolling Hills camping areas.
In other business topics touched on during the meeting:
--The Corps will begin chip seal road work in the West Rolling Hills area after July 4th.
--Sundown Salute and the Miss Milford Lake Pageant are expected to bring more visitors to the lake.
--Milford State Park will be extremely busy in July.
--Milford Lake Marina has been in a rebuilding mode but lost a main maintenance shed Tuesday night due to high winds.
--The CVB sponsored Float Your Boat event is scheduled to return to Milford State Park in August.
--There was a strong message to wear life jackets while on the lake.
--Game wardens are needed. There have been difficulties retaining enough of them. Some are coming in from Colorado on a rotation basis every weekend to cover vacancies.
--Thunderbird and Flagstop have upgraded and opened new restaurant facilities
