The details
The closed area includes the swim beach and adjacent areas, Lewisville Parks & Recreation officials announced Aug. 12.
Lower lake levels and a receding shoreline have increased swimming and wading risks at the lake, according to city officials. Several incidents have recently occurred, including two fatal drownings.
The closure will remain in effect until a more lasting solution can be identified by park and public safety personnel, according to city officials.
The department advises park visitors to heed the warning signs that will remain in place throughout the closure.
Also of note
The department advises visitors to be aware of the hazards caused by lowered lake levels that impact shorelines.
Areas that previously were safe for walking along the shoreline, wading and swimming may not be safe at this time, according to city officials.
Life jackets should be worn anytime a person enters the water. There are free loaner stations in Lewisville Lake Park and Tower Bay where visitors can access life jackets.
