Rising Lake Levels Across Oklahoma Could Impact Some Holiday Plans
A lot of people are keeping a close eye on lake levels across Green Country.
Thanks to lots of rain over the past several days, lake levels across the area are above normal as the Fourth of July weekend approaches. Levels are especially high at Fort Gibson lake where the water is about 15 feet above normal.
That s causing issues with camping areas like Taylor Ferry where flooding caused the closure of about 40 campsites Friday. Over on Skiatook Lake, some campsites at Tall Chief cove are flooded as well. Another lake to keep an eye on this weekend is Keystone Lake which is just over 13 feet above normal.
