Sutton Lake boat access to be closed through Feb. | Environment

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The boating access area at Sutton Lake is scheduled to be temporarily closed beginning Monday while it receives a facelift.

According to a press release, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission will construct two new boat ramps with new courtesy docks, a new handicap-accessible fishing pier, improved parking and traffic flow including handicap-accessible parking spaces, solar lighting and additional access area signage.

These improvements are expected to enhance the access to the freshwater fishing lake.

The work is expected to wrap up in February 2013.
