Lake Murray Drawdown Explained | Columbia News

Dominion Energy is lowering Lake Murray’s water level to 350 feet by December as part of a multi-year vegetation control plan — exposing aquatic plants to dry air and freezing temps to keep them in check. Partnering with South Carolina’s DNR and DES, the lake will stay at this lower level through January 2027, offering residents a rare chance to maintain docks and shorelines. But boaters beware: many coves and inlets will be dangerously shallow. The lake should rise back to its normal 358-foot summer level by late spring 2027 — weather permitting.
