State closes Nolin Lake because of flooding

Near record water levels have resulted in the closing of Nolin Lake State Park, which is located along the Edmonson-Grayson County line.
The lake level Thursday was 544.8 mean sea level and is expected to rise. The National Weather Service estimates the lake will climb as high as 549 feet by today, slighlty less than its record high of 549.9 recorded May 25, 1983.
While other state parks are open, some services are not available because of April's heavy rains. Rough River Lake State Resort Park in northwestern Grayson County has closed its campground, boat dock and golf course.
Green River Lake State Park near Campbellsville closed its campgrounds.
