New Gate and Upper Put-in

With some serious erosion taking place and more and more use we decided to spend some time and money on this important access point.  We approached Duke Energy over the winter about collaborating to perform some maintenance at the put-in to the upper Green.  After a couple of conversations Duke Energy decided they would rather take on the project themselves.  A week later, snap, a new set of stairs and fixed up parking area.  Thank you Duke Energy!

As well we are installing a new gate and fence at the narrows put-in.  The combination of the new gate’s self locking system and sturdier fence will add to the parking area’s security.  The new gate and fence should be in place by April 8th 2013.
