Lake Buhlow in Pineville has been closed due to the low water level. The lake will remain closed until water can be pumped in from the Red River. The 30-acre lake can hold nearly 59 million gallons to fill and is anticipated to be refilled over a 21-day period once the pump is there and operating, possibly at the end of January. In the meantime, the boat launch and dock have been repaired and the dock extended. Alexandria Town Talk (La.), Dec 20, 2023
