Mahoney State Park to conduct prescribed fires April 1

Prescribed fires will take place at Eugene T. Mahoney State Park on April 1, affecting some public access, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

Affected trails and roads in portions of the park will be marked with signs and closed during the fires. CenturyLink Lake will be closed during the burn.

These fires are part of an ongoing prairie and oak woodland restoration project by the Game and Parks and will help control the spread of invasive plants.
