Floodwaters have receded at Lake Belton although the popular reservoir remains nearly three feet higher than normal.
Some Lake Belton parks still remain partially closed to allow roads to dry out before vehicles are allowed back on them, Lake Manager Joshua Brown said.
âWeâre having a dry-out period for the lake roads,â Brown said. âIf we put a lot of traffic on it, itâll cause potholes.â
Temple Lake Park, at the far western edge of Temple, has seen its peninsula reemerge as floodwaters recede. The area, with picnic tables and outdoor grills, is accessible by foot now, but the area remains closed to vehicular traffic. The north boat ramp at the park remains a popular launch spot for boaters.
