OUTDOORS: Lake Arrowhead reopens
Lake Arrowhead in rural Wichita Falls has reopened after being closed for more than a month due to heavy rains.
However, access is limited.
Some areas within the park’s boundaries remain closed.
The Onion Creek Trail, Mesquite Ridge Trail, Primitive Camping and the floating docks remain closed.
The entrance fee is $3 daily for adults, and $1 per day as part of a group pass. Children 12 years old and under are admitted free.
Keep in mind, officials from the City of Wichita Falls would like to inform the public, fireworks are prohibited along city-owned property at Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo.
This includes along Hippie Beach and all public boat loading docks. If you are caught with fireworks, a citation will be issued and the offender could face a fine punishable up to $2,000.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
