Visitors to the Lake Ahquabi State Park and Hooper Wildlife Management Area south of Indianola may notice a significant change to the area s main body of water between now and spring 2022, affecting local fishing and wildlife.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to slowly drain Hooper Area Pond over the next six weeks to make repairs to the dam s drawdown structure, which helps regulate the pond s water levels. The drainage will last six weeks, starting on May 5, and last until it s refilled in 2022. Lake Ahquabi will be drained later this summer after the Fourth of July for a major overhaul to improve park roads, upgrade campgrounds, fix the lake s water outlet structure and eliminate the gizzard shad population.
Those raising money for Special Olympics Iowa will converge on Lake Ahquabi today at noon to participate in the annual Warren County Polar Plunge. Organizer Randy Spurr tells KNIA News the normal date of late February was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but despite the changes and difficulties, organizers wanted to hold the event as it will still raise money for a good cause. Those who have not registered to plunge can still participate in the event with a monetary donation or purchasing a t-shirt. The regular post-plunge banquet will not take place this year, with Hy-Vee providing a sack lunch. Social distancing and other safety measures will be put in place. For more information, click below.
The annual Warren County Polar Plunge is tomorrow, raising funds for Special Olympics Iowa. Organizer Randy Spurr tells KNIA News there is still time to participate, and you don’t have to make the plunge in order to help as you can purchase a t-shirt or make a monetary donation. Spurr also said sack lunches will be provided by Hy-Vee rather than the normal post-plunge banquet, with social distancing and other safety measures put in place. The Warren County Polar Plunge begins at noon at Lake Ahquabi. For more information, click below.
