MAKANDA, Ill. — After a Tuesday evening public meeting on the future of Little Grassy Lake, camp directors who run programs on the lake are now working out what has to happen in the next few years, the Southern Illinoisan reports. KFVS12 also covered a related public meeting on the Little Grassy Lake Dam study.
Camps on Little Grassy have long depended on the dam and the lake it holds back; any study into that infrastructure's future carries weight for the youth groups, scout troops, and outdoor programs that run summer sessions there.
The outlets did not detail the specific findings of the dam study or a timeline for any repair or replacement work, but the camp directors' response signals the update was substantial enough to prompt real planning. For the families and program directors who count on the lake every summer, the dam's future is the next chapter worth watching.
