The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will temporarily close Dam Quarry Campground and the tailwater boat ramp on Norfork Lake Oct. 7 through Oct. 19, 2025, for park improvements.
Work includes paving and major road improvements. During the closure, rangers will also be conducting prescribed burns in the park to restore the native grass ecosystems.
The closures are necessary to safely complete the scope of work and improve long-term functionality of the parks. The closure dates will be adjusted, and the park will reopen early if the work is completed ahead of schedule.
USACE officials regret the inconvenience but emphasize that the work will enhance safety and improve the visitor experience.
