In a recent announcement, the Florence City Electricity Department has informed the public that the Shoals Creek Public Boat Ramp and its surrounding lake area will be temporarily closed for maintenance. The closure is expected to last until May 16th, allowing for necessary repairs and upkeep to be carried out.
This decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and functionality of the popular recreational spot. The closure will allow maintenance crews to address any issues and make improvements to enhance the overall experience for visitors once the area reopens.
During this period, residents and visitors are encouraged to seek alternative locations for boating and other water activities. The Florence City Electricity Department appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation during this temporary closure and looks forward to welcoming everyone back to the Shoals Creek Public Boat Ramp and lake area once the maintenance is complete.
