Floodwaters
Receding
from State Parks, Some Facilities Still Closed
Posted 14 July
2010
Dolliver and Walnut
Woods state parks are open to camping and most areas to general park
use. Both had been closed through the July 4 holiday due to flooding.
At Dolliver, the playground, boat ramp, part of the main picnic area
and access to some lowland trails are unable to be used due to the silt
and mud left behind by the flood waters.
The Canyon Drive and Lower Ledges Road at Ledges State Park are still
closed to vehicle traffic due to record flood levels from the nearby
Des Moines River.
At Lake Manawa, the river ramps are usable but the docks are not in.
The bike trails on the Missouri River are closed.
The Lake Macbride Dam road that accesses the Coralville boat ramp, the
Lake Macbride Dam and spillway area, and the Fisheries Station are
closed due to flooding.
The access road to the Rotary Lodge at Wapsipinicon State park is
expected to re-open later this week once work on the road should is
completed.
Wilson Island State Park, which sits along the Missouri River in
Pottawattamie County, is still closed. Wilson Island has a potential
re-open date of Aug. 2.
