SEGUIN, Texas (AP) - Flooding and the danger of debris and submerged objections have led to boating restrictions on six Texas lakes until Aug. 1.
The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, for public safety reasons, has banned use of motorized and non-motorized watercraft on Lake Dunlap, Lake McQueeney, Lake Placid, Lake Nolte, Lake Gonzales and Lake Wood.
The authority also says no jet skis or other personal watercraft are allowed due to safety concerns over flooding that followed last week's heavy rains. Use of watercraft is allowed for removal or protection of property.
One person died in the flooding. New Braunfels police say the body of 65-year-old Norman Walker of Iowa Park was recovered last Wednesday from the rain-swollen Guadalupe River. ---
