No Beach Closures For The Lake Area This Weekend

This week’s state park public beach report from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is a carbon copy of last week’s report.

The DNR says there are no public beaches closed for swimming due to any E-coli concerns.

There is one state park beach, Thousand Hills in Kirksville, that does remain closed due to ongoing renovations.
