Riverview Marina SRA temporarily closed due to high water; other areas take precautions

LINCOLN, Neb. – Riverview Marina State Recreation Area (SRA) in Otoe County is temporarily closed to the public.

Rising water levels in the Missouri River led Nebraska Game and Parks Commission staff to close the area Tuesday. Riverview Marina SRA is adjacent to the Missouri River and offers river access.

The closure includes campgrounds and the boat dock.

Precautions are being taken in northeastern Nebraska as river levels rise. No park areas have been closed, but parks staff have moved the boat docks at Pelican Point SRA in Burt County in anticipation of high Missouri River flows.

In addition, signs have been posted at Dead Timber SRA in Dodge County warning visitors of the potential for Elkhorn River flooding in the area.
