The impending winter storm has prompted Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area to close all facilities by 5 PM Thursday.
All visitors will be asked to leave, including campers in backcountry areas.
In a release, LBL Area Supervisor Tina Tilley said closing is the safest decision due to hazardous road conditions with freezing rain, sleet, snow and freezing temperatures predicted for our area.
Tilley said LBL will reopen when conditions allow.
Land Between The Lakes is in the process of notifying individuals that their camping and other program reservations are cancelled for this weekend.
A list of closed activities and facilities include:
- Administrative Offices
- Backcountry and Self-Service Camping
- Brandon Spring Group Center
- Golden Pond Planetarium and Observatory
