The Park has been closed for months due to repeat River flooding.
However, the high water expanded overnight due to additional flash flooding from 2 days more days of severe weather.

This is where we normally go for our July 4th picnic and fireworks afterwards.
However, I'm afraid that won't be happening this year.

Many, many, many farm fields in Missouri and Kansas also look like this from a combination of both River and Flash flooding. There won't be any crops this year. Today, three additional towns were also flooded to the point of residents needing water rescues.

The first 6 months of 2019 in our area have been the "wettest"
in 140 year (since weather records first started to be kept) history.
