Land Between the Lakes Late Fall and Winter Operation Schedules Announced
The Homeplace and Woodlands Nature Station will be open Wednesday-Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm and Sunday, 10:00am-5:00pm during November. The Homeplace, Nature Station, and the North and South Welcome Stations will be closed Thanksgiving Day, and all of December, January, and February. However, The Homeplace and Nature Station will offer various guided programs, including the popular Bald Eagle Van Tours and River Cruises. The Golden Pond Planetarium will operate Wednesday-Sunday during November (with the exception of Thanksgiving Day). The holiday favorites, “’Tis the Season,” and “Christmas Story” are being offered at the Planetarium, Wednesday-Sunday beginning November 25th through December 23rd. If groups wish to be scheduled Monday or Tuesday, arrangements may be made by calling 270.924.2020. After this period, the Planetarium will be closed through the end of February. These shows present beautiful, full dome views of the simulated night skies and celestial events using the latest in digital imaging technology. The Elk & Bison Prairie remains open year-round, dawn-to-dusk. The Golden Pond Visitor Center is also open year-round, 9:00am-5:00pm daily, with the exceptions of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. The winter months offer the best chance of viewing elk, as the colder and shorter days draw the elk out later in the morning and earlier in the afternoon to feed. While the developed campgrounds, Hillman Ferry and Piney, will be closed beginning December 1st, 2011, campers will find all six self-service fee camping areas and all backcountry areas open throughout the winter. Energy Lake Campground, Wranglers Campground, and Turkey Bay OHV Area, as well as the hiking and biking trails, will also remain open throughout the winter unless inclement weather causes temporary closures for visitor safety. During times of excessive wet conditions, it is recommended that visitors “Call Before You Haul.” Please call 270.924.2000 and press 3 for updates on weather related closures or check the Alerts & Notices page on LBL’s website.
