Falls Lake at Historic Low Water Levels | Fayetteville News

Falls Lake is at dangerously low levels—over five and a half feet below normal—with shorelines pushed back, channels drying up, and hidden hazards like stumps and sandbars popping up everywhere. The Army Corps of Engineers is urging boaters, especially for the Fourth of July weekend, to slow down and steer clear of shallow coves and the Cheek Road area. Locals say it’s the lowest they’ve ever seen it, turning what should be a fun holiday into a risky one—though some are using the exposed lakebed for fishing. It’s not just Falls Lake: Jordan and Kerr Lakes are also significantly lower. All ramps remain open, but some lanes may be closed. If you’re heading out, safety first—expect big changes and be extra cautious.
