The Kentuck Lake Campground and boat landing located in Vilas County near the town of Alvin will be closed beginning Monday, September 22.
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest spokesperson Hilary Markin says they're closing the road and boat dock to fix some nasty potholes...
".....we anticipate that closure to last about three days so hopefully we're not impacting any weekend visitors just during the week. We're going to be working on the roadway trying to make that a safer travel way for visitors...."
The road has deteriorated significantly in the past few years as this popular campground and fishing lake receives a lot of traffic.
Boaters and anglers who wish to access Kentuck Lake can do so through the town boat landing on the western shore of the lake. Markin says many other camping opportunities are available on National Forest lands in the area.
The campground and boat access are expected to reopen on September 25.
