The busy boating season is right around the corner, and Department of Natural Resources officials are reminding there is an entrance to Clinton Lake that will be closed this summer.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, DNR Conservation Police Officer Noah Workman told Regional Radio the west side boat access is being worked on this summer. 

While work goes on at the access, crews will have the barricades removed to get their equipment on and off the site. Officer Workman says they've encountered issues with boaters still using it despite it being closed.

Officer Workman notes with the busy boating season about to kick off, they hope boaters will find alternate ways to get their boats on and off the water this summer.
