Greenwood Lake Drawdown Leads to Low Water Levels
Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the summer season, is typically a busy time on Greenwood Lake which spreads over New York and New Jersey. This year however, due to the lake being about two-feet shy of its usual depth for this time of year, many fishing outings, pontoon parties, and skiing excursions have been canceled; the lake is too shallow for the boats to even launch.
