CENTER LAKE ROAD STILL CLOSED

 Center Lake Road across the Cordry Spillway area remains closed.  At a recent CSCD meeting it was stated that they were hoping to open in a couple of weeks. This still a work site in progress.

CSCD FIRE DEPARTMENT GARAGE SALE

 The social event of the season is coming this Saturday, June 28th.  Two tents and the yards are full of treasures accumulating for the annual fundraiser event.   I've also seen guests already shopping ahead for a bargain that they intend to buy!

PICKLEBALL

 There are a number of dedicate Pickleball players in the area.  They play just about every day at 4 available courts at the Fire Station.

CORDY SPILLWAY UPDATE

 The work continues on the Cordry Spillway Project.  They keep pouring cement!!!  The freeholder's launch ramp is available to use but the contractor's ramp is blocked off.  The road is still closed to through traffic.

NEW SWEETWATER LAUNCH RAMP

 Thanks to Chris Buckman and Jon Zimmerman, a new yellow gate has been installed at the Sweetwater Boat Launch Ramp free of charge!  Thanks to volunteers and freeholders Chris and Jon for helping out the community.

SPRING BlOSUMS

 It's been a great spring for things growing......no late frost to ruin blooms.......warm sunny days......etc.  The redbuds have been great lasting for a long time and now the dogwoods are out.

CORDRY SPILLWAY PROGRESS

 The Cordry Spillway project continues.  Cement trucks appear almost every day.  The company and conservancy have indicated that a launch ramp for boats will be available to use on May 9th.

HIGH WATER!

 Thursday April 3rd-Saturday April 5th, the county and surrounding areas received 6-7 inches of rain.  Some roads were closed due to high water....some were washed out.  State Road #46 in Columbus at the I-65 interchange was completely closed.  Cordry Lake did  not flood as bad as Sweetwater due to the construction pumps running 24-7.  Sweetwater Rose approximately 3 feet covering docks and freeing boats off of lifts that weren't tethered.  The Sweetwater Emergency Spillway was flowing for the second time in the history of the lake.  (first time was 2008)  

CSLOA CHILI COOKOFF

 The Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owners Association Chili Cookoff was a complete success.  A variety of homemade chili plus sweets plus music made the evening a success.   This was perhaps the first event showing off the newly updated interior of the clubhouse featuring new ceiling, new lighting, new flooring, new interior paneling and paint.  LOOK  GREAT!

COMING EVENTS

 The Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owners Association just sent out a newsletter with a list of coming events for 2025.  The Ox Roast, The Lake Tour of Homes, The Fireworks, and more!   Looks like an exciting year coming.

INDIANAPOLIS BOAT SHOW

 The Indianapolis Boat Sport and Travel Show is underway at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds.  The event began on February 14th and continues through February 23rd.  Lots of great deals on boats and campers. Don't miss the water skiing squirrel Twiggy!

CORDRY SPILLWAY UPDATE

 Work continues on the Cordry Lake Spillway Project.  Center Lake Road is still in tact but there is equipment parked in places make the road still closed.  Most of the work is still on the backside of  the spillway.  

CORDRY SPILLWAY UPDATE

Work continues on the Cordry Spillway project even in snowy weather.  Most of the work is still on the back side of the spillway.  New rip rap and huge boulders have been put in place to remedy erosion downstream.  The CSCD Board of Directors recently OK'd the added expense to replace and sleeve the water main that runs under the road at the spillway site.  A 200' sleeve will be included as part of the project.  The Road remains closed to traffic and pedestrians. 

GOOD BYE BUBBA!

 Quinn and Linda Heatherington recently sold their home on Halibut Drive.  They are going to re-locate outside of the lakes area and with them goes "Bubba."  Bubba is their 1950's Chris Craft that they have owned for decades and used both on Sweetwater Lake and Cordry Lake.  Bubba pulled a water skiers in the 2024 Cordry Lake Water Ski Show.  Bubba even pulled some family wakeboarders.  Sad to say that Bubba had a serious leak and needs some repairs.  Quinn indicated that Bubba may find a new home with his son in state of Oregon.
