BOAT RAMPS, RECREATION AREAS CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING AT NORTH TEXAS LAKES

HIGH LAKE LEVELS CLOSING BOAT RAMPS, RECREATION AREAS

The heavy rains seen across North Texas have caused many lakes across our area
to flood and it could take weeks before things return to normal.

GRAPEVINE, Texas - The storms are gone, the sun is out, and the heat is on.

Saturday was starting to feel and look like summer so, naturally, people wanted
to get out on the lake, but they were met with closed signs and forced to turn
around.





With all the rain we've gotten, some areas are still flooded, and the Army Corps
of Engineers believe it could take weeks for lake levels to get back to normal.

Jose Arteaga went to Grapevine Lake on Saturday for an annual birthday
celebration with his church and family.

"It’s very nice, very nice weather, especially after all the rain – it's really
nice!" said Arteaga.  

But the group did not go to their usual spot.

"Usually, he does this every year, and we usually meet over by the tennis courts
on that side, but it was closed," said Arteaga.

He's not the only one forced to turn around trying to get into a park area at
Grapevine Lake.



After all the rain in North Texas, Grapevine Lake is about 19 feet higher than
normal.

Park areas and boat ramps are closed because of flooding.



"It really depends on the lake and without any additional rain in the watershed,
it’ll be a good month before we actually get all the floodwaters out of our
eight flood risk management reservoirs here up the Trinity River," said Clay
Church of the Fort Worth District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 

Church says before floodwaters can be released downstream, they need to make
sure those areas have capacity.

"Certainly over the last couple of weeks, Houston and Liberty on down south on
the Trinity River had some fairly massive flooding, so that’s one of the reasons
that we haven’t been discharging waters from our flood risk management
reservoirs," he said.



A family from Alabama emailed FOX 4 that they had tried to park their RV at
Lavon Lake and were told the park is closed, and they needed to leave.

Church says in that area the electrical outlets RVs use are underwater and
there's no electricity at the park.

Before recreation areas can open back up, the Army Corps of Engineers has to
inspect them and allow them to properly dry out.

"It’ll be a good couple weeks to three weeks, that’s after the floodwaters have
receded that we’ll be able to start that clock. Hopefully have the majority of
our recreation areas open for Labor Day weekend, but many of them will not be
able to be open before the Fourth of July," said Church.



If you are able to find a safe way to get on the water, Church urges people to
be aware of floating debris and structures like picnic tables or grills close to
the water's surface.

"We do like people to come out and recreate at our lakes, we just ask check
before coming out in this flooding event and flooding time," he said.

If you have a future reservation at a nearby lake, you're encouraged to check
your reservation status to make sure the area is open.
