Army Road Boat Access at New Albin still closed ...

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources wants to notify the public that, although the Mississippi River water level has finally lowered for opening many boat ramp accesses, the Army Road access in Allamakee County at New Albin is still closed.  Excessive flood debris, erosion of road rock, and stumps that have pushed up from under the road are making travel hazardous at this time.  DNR personnel are quickly improving the hazards for safe access, hopefully by this coming weekend June 29 and 30th, but there are no guarantees.  The public may call Wildlife Biologist Terry Haindfield at 563-380-3422 if they need an update on the conditions.
