Docks pulled from southwest lakes

Docks are being pulled from the water at many locations in southwestern Nebraska due to high winds. The docks will be placed back in the water as soon as weather conditions allow.

At Swanson State Recreation Area, the Trail 3 dock will be out of service until wind damage to the dock can be repaired.

Lakes in the southwest include Enders, Swanson, Red Willow, Lake McConaughy, Lake Maloney, Sutherland, and Medicine Creek.

Boaters wishing to use ramps and docks at these areas can call the North Platte district office of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission at 308-535-8025 for more information.
