Too much water is causing problems for boating and other lake activities in southeastern Nebraska. Officials with the Nemaha Natural Resources District have suspended boating and other water activities at all four of its public recreation areas.

Those areas include 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 the inundated roads, 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 is urged to first check the NRD’s website at (www.nemahanrd.org), its Facebook page, or call for updates at (402)335-3325.
