All water traffic on Lake Cypress Springs is strictly prohibited and boat ramps are closed due to high water elevations. The closure automatically went into effect Thursday morning, March 1, after the lake level reached the elevation of 380.50 ft MSL or 2.5 feet above conservation pool (378 ft MSL).
The restrictions are aimed at reducing damage and/or preventing safety issues because of wave action created by watercraft on the lake. The FCWD staff asks for the cooperation of all residents and visitors to adhere to these regulations.
The District’s Rules and Regulations (Article 2.8) state that when the District closes the lake or any District boat ramp that “no person, vehicle or water craft shall be allowed on the Lake or to utilize any boat ramp until the Lake and/or boat ramp is re-opened. Any prohibited use of the Lake or boat ramp during closure is a violation of the Rules.”
"During a lake closure, this rule is strictly enforced and citations will be issued," David Weidman, FCWD General Manager, said Thursday.
Under the District’s Rules and Regulations (Article 14.20 t) also states, that “All boats lifted and stored in Boathouses shall be restricted, by tie (rope, chain, chord, etc.), or by obstruction (bar, pole, post, etc.), from floating outside of the Boathouse perimeter. All smaller watercraft (jet skis, paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc.) shall be similarly secured from floating untethered.”
"Watercraft that are found in violation of this rule will be impounded and removed from the reservoir," Mr. Weidman added.
