Trash in some areas of DeWitt County's outdoor areas has been an ongoing point of frustration for local authorities for many years.

It hasn't come to a head where they have shut down some of the areas because of it. Still, Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Officer Noah Workman says it continues to be frustrating that there are signs to pick up trash and plenty of trash receptacles, yet still, trash is left behind.

Overall, Officer Workman reports it has been a relatively compliant summer on Clinton Lake, at Weldon Springs, and the corresponding recreation areas.
