Much needed repairs to the Cave Creek Dam, including bringing the nearly 90-year-old dam up to code and up to date, have been completed according to engineers with NDOW.
 
 
Coordination with the Nevada Public Works Division, the Nevada Division of Water Resources and the Nevada Division of State Parks have made this completion possible.
 
 
It will take around nine months for the water levels to return to pre-construction levels.
 
 
Cave Lake State Park's campgrounds and trails have remained open. Once construction equipment is fully removed, the lake will reopen for public use.
 
 
“This is a big step in turning Cave Lake back into a destination spot for visitors from all over the state,” said NDOW Director Alan Jenne. “A lot of people and a lot of different agencies have worked very hard on this project and we’re finally starting to see the results. It’s all very exciting.”
