Lake Down CANAL TO BE CLOSED FOR DREDGING PROJECT

The Lake Down Canal will be closed to boat traffic from November 14, 2011 until January 10, 2012. The canal could be opened earlier if the sand removal and installation of geofilter tubes remains on schedule. This work is being completed by Orange County Environmental Protection and the Windermere Water Navigation Control Board (WWNCB). It is being paid for by the annual tax assessment from the WWNCB.
