(Tecumseh)-- Because of the recent heavy rainfall, the Nemaha Natural Resources District announced Friday that water activities are suspended at all four of its public recreation areas. That includes Kirkman’s Cove near Humboldt, Iron Horse Trail Lake near DuBois, Wirth Brothers Lake north of Tecumseh, and Prairie Owl by Dunbar.
High water levels have made access to boat ramps and docks impossible, and the beaches are completely under water. Because of the danger of unknown obstacles below the high water levels and roads that are inundated by water, boating, swimming, and all water activities are prohibited at the parks until further notice. Some other camping and day-use areas may also be affected depending on the water levels in those areas; signs will be posted to alert park visitors to the restrictions.
Anyone planning to visit these areas this weekend is urged to first check the NRD’s website (nemahanrd.org), Facebook page, or call the office (402-335-3325) for a recorded message that will provide the latest updates.
