WACO (October 22, 2009)--The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is advising residents to stay away from Lake Waco for the next several days.

With so much rain recently, the Corp's Reservoir Control Branch expects the level of the lake to rise by as much as eight feet in the next few days, increasing the amount of floating and submerged debris.

Many parts of the lake are already closed, including Airport Beach Park, Koehne Park, Twin Bridges Park, Flat Rock, and Lacy Point Access Areas.

Partial closures include Midway Park boat ramp, Speegleville boat ramp and the Reynolds Creek Bank Fishing Area and Boat Ramp.
