Milford Lake is due to rise two more feet by Monday.

That’s the prediction of the Corps of Engineers for the lake.

R. J. Harms is the Project Operations Manager for the Corps at Milford Lake, “We’re in pretty good shape compared to the lakes east of us.  We are rising. Overnight Wednesday we had a pretty good rain north of Concordia and that water isn’t even in the lake yet. It’s still on the way.” Harms added the Corps expects an approximate two-foot rise over the weekend. “That will put us at about 1152, which is about 8-feet high. So we’ll see where that comes in. But we’re still being able to release our 2,000 ( cubic feet of water per second ) at this point.”

There will be some impact on campgrounds at the lake.

“Clay County Park, Milford State Park, Flagstop, some of our campgrounds with the Corps of Engineers. Portions of those areas are going to start having some access impacts. ” Harms noted the public is still free to come out to the lake and look. “But beware, there may be some restrictions on where you can go or access into some different area.”

Harms reported that as of Friday morning Tuttle Creek Lake was 30-feet high, and Perry Lake 18-feet high.
