Patoka Lake Tail Waters Public Access Launch Temporarily Closed

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is temporarily closing the public access launch at Patoka Lake Tail Waters because of unseasonably high-water levels in the Patoka Reservoir.

The closure was requested by the Army Corps of Engineers out of an abundance of caution since the high-water levels have caused them to increase the discharge of water from Patoka Lake Dam.

Once the water lowers to a typical level, the site will be reopened.

In the meantime, please look at the DNR’s Where to Fish Map for alternate launch sites.
