Lake Williams will reopen to the public over Memorial Day weekend, according to the York Water Company.

The reservoir will reopen at 6 a.m. Saturday, May 25 for boating recreation, a news release states.

Hiking trails in the immediate area of the dam remain closed because of active construction, but the other trails throughout the 1,600-acre William Kain Park are open, the release states. Trails 2 and 4 are expected to be fully accessible by the end of June.

Boating at Lake Williams will re-open to the public over Memorial Day weekend after reconstruction of the dam closed the area for a couple of years.
