Lake Amon G. Carter is expected to remain closed for at least the remainder of the week as more rain is in the forecast for mid-week.
Texas Game Warden Chase McAninch said during the weekend he had to tell five boaters and about 10 different kayakers the lake was closed and to remove themselves from the water.
“Some were from out of town and they loaded in around the barricades and cones. Others said they knew the ramp was closed, but not the lake. The information is posted on the city’s website and other location media like the newspaper. The violation is operating in a restricted area. I ran them off, but there were no citations,” said the game warden.
He added city officials are getting some additional signs to post about the lake closure at the sites. Read more on this story in the mid-week Bowie News.
