Thread: Jordan/ Farrington ramp

I wonder how much longer they'll have the park and the wildlife ramp closed? It looks like the levels are steadily dropping.

Here is the latest graph on Jordan--looks like just under 232. Obviously the river is down and let's hope it will stay that way.

Ramps may not reopen until the lake level drops to 224 or 226. I won't bother going until it goes down to about 222.

I drive by Farrington daily I will post when they open the gates

The Cape Fear River is dropping steady now. They will increase the outflow at Jordan by what the River can handle. If it were later in the winter and the sap had started to rise it would go faster. Most of the water is running off now and not being absorbed by the ground.

Complete North Carolina noob question, but what do you mean "If it were later in the winter and the sap had started to rise it would go faster"

I drove by on 64 and the ramp is still buckled like a saw tooth and you can't get to what ramp is exposed without getting wet.

Trees sucks water out of the ground thus reducing groundwater from getting to creeks to end up in the lake as well as trees near lake pulling water.
