Vogel State Park

Here is your first weekly update on Lake Trahlyta, and the refill is progressing nicely!

Since we started, the water level has already come up 4 feet 3 inches. It is so exciting to watch the progress day by day as the heart of the park slowly fills back in.

Just a quick heads-up as the lake fills: the Lake Trahlyta Loop Trail remains closed across the top of the dam. Our construction crews are still hard at work up there, so that section will stay off-limits for your safety since it is still an active work site.

We will keep tracking the water levels and share another update with you all next week. Thanks for following along and for your continued patience!
