Boaters navigating into the lake through the S-127 lock at Buckhead Ridge should be aware that floating vegetation may hinder their boats as they try to exit the lock chamber. The SFWMD Okeechobee Field Station is working with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to address the issue as quickly as possible.
On the south shore of the lake, the S-310 lock at Clewiston in Hendry County also returned to normal operations on Monday, Sept. 18.
All SFWMD navigation locks on the Kissimmee River and in the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes remain closed as the District continues to evaluate their status to determine when they can safely be reopened. The District anticipates resuming normal operations at the S-61 lock on Lake Tohopekaliga in Osceola County as soon as commercial power is restored.
Navigation locks on the Okeechobee Waterway are operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. For the status of those locks, check navigation notices from the Corps.
