Some state parks and reservoirs affected by high water

Indiana DNR Release:


Most state park and reservoir facilities have been unaffected by this week's rain and storms, but high water is impacting Shades State Park; Mississinewa, Salamonie, Roush, Raccoon and Lieber state recreation areas, and some other reservoirs.

– The backpack/canoeing campground at Shades is closed due to culvert washouts.
– Beaches at Mississinewa, Salamonie, Roush and Lieber will be closed at least for the weekend due to high water.
– Portland Mills Ramp is closed at Raccoon, also due to high water.
– Some reservoirs may have debris floating in the water, so use caution when boating and skiing.

Individuals who plan to visit should contact the specific property for up-to-the-minute changes, since water levels may rise or drop depending on any additional rainfall or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water releases through the dams.
