Leesville Lake Water Levels Rising

Boaters and fishers near Leesville Lake, brace yourselves—water levels could spike suddenly starting Monday due to a major heat wave pushing Appalachian Power to ramp up electricity generation. Managed through their Smith Mountain Project, the hydroelectric system may release more water to meet grid demands, with PJM Interconnection already alerting them. While they’ve got plans to manage downstream releases and even pump water back up when possible, stay vigilant. Check the Smith Mountain Project website for real-time updates—this six-hundred-megawatt powerhouse on the Roanoke River is no joke.
