The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake O’ the Pines will be temporarily closing TX Highway FM 726 where it crosses the Lake O’ the Pines Dam to repair the road with two layers of chip seal. The closure for the first layer is scheduled to be Tuesday August 8th, and the second closure is scheduled for Tuesday August 15th. During the day of each of these scheduled closures there will not be access to Lakeside Park Recreation Area, which includes the boat ramp, Sandy Beach swim area, Lake O’ the Pines Disc Golf, and other features in that recreation area. During these repairs traffic along FM 726 will be diverted to the service road below the Lake O’ the Pines Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake O’ the Pines wants to remind everyone to use extra caution during this construction, and as always remember to wear you life jacket when recreating on the lake.
