GREEN BAY - Anglers and waterfowl hunters are advised that water levels at Grand River Marsh Wildlife Area in Green Lake County are expected to remain very low through the summer of 2020, affecting opportunities for fishing and hunting activities.
Due to storm damage sustained in August 2018, staff are unable to control water flow through the dam at Grand River Marsh. As a result, water levels will remain too low for boat launching, and angling and waterfowl hunting opportunities will be significantly reduced.
"We regret the inconvenience to those affected by the drawdown at the Grand River dam," said Jeff Lang, a wildlife technician with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. "This is a favorite spot in our area for anglers and hunters, and we understand the need to get the dam fixed and raise water levels in the impoundment."
According to Lang, plans to repair the dam are underway, and the work is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020.
