Heavy rains causing closures at state parks
Bad news, folks. It looks like the steady rains we’ve been getting for the past several days are causing closures at some state parks. It’s nice to have a drought-buster, but this might put a damper on some of your plans for the next few days. I lifted this text off the state Tourism Department Web site:
Due to high water, the following State Parks or areas are closed:
Spavinaw State Park-Spavinaw Lake
Snowdale State Park-Lake Hudson
Cherokee Riverside at Cherokee State Park-Grand Lake
Beavers Bend SP-Several areas in the Stevens Gap and Carson Creek areas have been closed due to rising lake levels on Broken Bow Lake. Coyote, Blue Jay and Eagle areas in Stevens Gap and Firefly area in Carson Creek. The lower Marina road (houseboat area) is partially under water.
The following parks have limited campsites available due to high water:
Sequoyah and Sequoyah Bay State Parks on Fort Gibson Lake-50% of campsites available.
Walnut Creek SP on Lake Keystone-25% of campsites available.
Sequoyah Golf Course-Play is limited to 9 holes only.
Bernice State Park on Grand Lake-Very limited (15%) campsites available
Please call ahead if you are planning to visit these parks, and check this website for further updates on high water closings.
