 AIRPORT AND BOAT RAMP CLOSING AT PKVisitors to Possum Kingdom Lake’s airport and Bug Beach public area may notice a little construction going on in the coming weeks. Two projects will have crews working in both areas, though they will strive to keep the inconvenience to the public at a minimum.
Possum Kingdom Airport will close from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 8 so workers can reseal the apron and taxiway. The project is the last stage of nearly $1 million in upgrades to the airport, paid for by a matching grant with the Texas Department of Transportation.
The Bug Beach boat ramp and adjacent parking area will be closed from Sept. 8 to Oct. 18, while crews renovated the aging ramp in response to requests by the public. Nearby boat ramps will continue to be available at the Authority’s South D&D and Scenic Cove public areas.
 NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR DUCK BLIND DRAWING The Brazos River Authority has set dates and times for lakeside waterfowl hunting blind drawings for the 2010-2011 season. The drawing gives hunters the opportunity to use one of numerous sites to set up duck blinds on the Authority’s beautiful reservoirs. Age and eligibility requirements have changed for the 2010-2011 season. For more, click here.
