Lake Shelbyville on the Rise

Thursday, 25 April 2013

Recent rains cause flooding in Shelby County.

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers says Lake Shelbyville's elevation has risen almost ten feet above the normal summer pool.

Officials say the rising water is impacting some sites around the lake.

They say secondary boat ramps are closed along with the Illini backpacking trail.

The Corp says boaters should be extra careful when on the water and watch out for low bridge clearances.
