River crests, but questions remain about damage, reopening

Water levels on the Mississippi River at Lake City were trending downward Tuesday after cresting at 17.26 feet earlier in the week.

On Tuesday morning, the river was at 17.10 feet, still above the Minor Flood Stage lower bound of 16 feet.

Flooding caused the closure of public boat ramps at Hok-Si-La Park and Roschen Park, as well as the boat launch and gas dock at the Lake City Marina.

All three facilities remained closed as of Tuesday morning.

Flooding also impacted utilities on Central Point.
