Clinton Lake has reopened after a brief closure due to high waters.

Weekend rains dropped anywhere from five to seven inches of rain in DeWitt County resulting in high and active waters. Those active waters resulted in Clinton Lake being shut down Sunday. Authorities reopened the lake shortly after the noon hour on Tuesday.  Clinton Lake Beach remains closed.

Active waters resulted in a water rescue call on Salt Creek in northern DeWitt County Saturday during the time which a tornado warning was active from a storm on the County's west side.

Authorities continue to ask boaters and recreators to use caution and implore motorists to never cross a flooded roadway.
