The Corps of Engineers at Milford Lake have been working to make upgrades at the lake over the winter months in preparation for the spring and summer seasons.

Operations Project Manager, Bill Whitworth, explained that they have been trying to pull out some courtesy docks and ramps. One at Farnum Creek was rebuilt. The entire overall project is expected to be completed by mid-April.

There has been clean-up work of hazardous trees and branches at campgrounds, a prescribed fire of about 80 acres to burn crop residue off of former crop land to convert it to natural grass, and preparations are being made to chip seal Curtis Creek and Timber Creek Roads. That work will eventually be done by a private company under contract.
