University Lake and the Cane Creek Reservoir will reopen for boating, fishing, picnicking, sunbathing and other recreation Saturday.

The Orange Water and Sewer Authority has designated the opening Lightning Brown Day in honor of the late Mr. Brown.

Brown was a community activist and former member of the OWASA Board of Directors during the 1990s.

All boat rental, boat launching and lake use fees except those for electric trolling motor rentals will be waived for the day.

Because of the change to daylight savings time, it becomes dark too early to safely allow boating before 7 a.m., but during most of the lake season recreation hours will be from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays through Sundays.
