Visitor centers to close for winter

The Army Corps of Engineers begins seasonal weekend closings at the visitors centers at Hartwell Dam and Lake and Richard B. Russell Dam and Lake November 24-February 24. The visitors centers remain open during normal business hours 8 a-m to 4:30 p-m Monday through Friday. All visitor centers are closed on federal holidays. The weekend closings are the result of a declining number of winter time visitors. Weekend operations resume March 2.
