The Grand River Dam Authority is warning boaters to stay away from Kerr Dam on Lake Hudson.
GRDA police say a cable that holds the warning buoys in place across the flood gate broke loose Friday morning. They say the heavy rains have increased the flow of water near the dam.
“We always stress to boaters to stay well clear of open floodgate areas on our dams,” said GRDA Vice President of Corporate Communications Justin Alberty. “However, with the buoy line currently broken, we cannot stress that message enough for those visiting Lake Hudson.”

âIt doesnât look like it yet, but wait till itâs finished. This will be a world-class attraction,â said Ed Fite, GRDA vice president for rivers operations and water quality, who joined other project officials Tuesday for a tour of the WOKA Whitewater Park site.
âItâll be in the top 10 (whitewater parks nationwide), probably in the top five. Itâll be that good,â Fite said.
