Final Portion of Osage River Reopens for Recreational Boating

The final stretch of the Osage River which had been closed due to flooding concerns has now been re-opened. Captain John Hotz, with the highway patrol, says the stretch from the Missouri River to Lock and Dam #1 is once again available for recreational boating. Captain Hotz goes onto say, however, that boaters still need to avoid creating wakes in areas still experiencing high water and to be on alert for floating debris.
