State parks close due to flooding

LINCOLN – Riverview Marina State Recreation Area and portions of Indian Cave State Park are closed until further notice due to surging Missouri River levels.

Riverview Marina, a 47-acre park just east of Nebraska City, is adjacent to the Missouri River and expected to see moderate flooding as the river crests Friday.

The lower portions of Indian Cave State Park also will be temporarily closed; these areas include the road to the cave, the backwaters and lower park areas.

The closures are for public safety.

These follow closures or partial closures at Pelican Point, Two Rivers and Louisville state recreation areas and Ponca State Park, where floodwaters have affected riverfront camping and amenities. Schilling, Marsh Wren and Harold W. Anderson wildlife management areas also are closed after flooding.

Guests planning a trip to a state park or recreation area along the Platte or Missouri rivers should call ahead for the latest conditions. Visit OutdoorNebraska.gov for more information.
