The water and land area surrounding the
water-control structure on the Guana Dam at Guana River Wildlife
Management Area (WMA) will be closed for about a month beginning
May 3 for necessary repairs to the structure.
The water level in the lake will be low until the
repairs are completed. Barring any delays, the area should be
open again the first week of June, and the water level will begin
to rise.
"This is the most popular place for shore-bound
anglers at the dam, but they can still fish from nearby areas
during construction," said Justin Ellenberger, Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Guana River WMA area
biologist.
The Guana Dam is located about midway between St.
Augustine and Jacksonville Beach, just off A1A in St. Johns
County.
