EUFAULA, Okla. – As the Sooner State continues to see rain, many boaters are being forced to change their plans for Memorial Day weekend.

After being in a drought for several years, many of the state’s lakes are filling up with water.

However, the water is coming at such a fast pace that it is also causing problems at some of those lakes.

Lake Eufaula is 14 feet above normal, causing officials to close about half of the camps sites, recreation areas and fishing spots.

According to KJRH, authorities also closed every boat ramp.

Officials at the lake say visitors should use extreme caution.

Eufaula isn’t the only place experiencing flooding.

Lake Thunderbird is back open as of Saturday, May 31. Reports are unclear about whether all boat ramps are back open, but the lake is confirmed open.

Arcadia Lake is limited due to flooding. As of Sunday afternoon, lake levels were approximately eleven feet above normal water elevation.

Beaches, boat ramps, docks, and all trails are off limits, and no new campers are allowed in the area. .  General day-use and sightseeing is not allowed at this time.

The only usage exceptions at this time are current campers in the parks, fishing at the Edmond Park boat ramp and fishing at Spring Creek Park Area A, according to a press release from the City of Edmond.

Visitors to Lake Texoma will also be limited on where they can go.

The following areas will be closed at Lake Texoma this weekend:

• East Burns Run – Completely closed.

According to the Durant Democrat, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicts that the lake water will reach the spillway on Monday.

The Lake of the Arbuckles, at the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, was down nearly seven feet two weeks ago.

Water is now covering parking lots and engulfing buildings, ramps and camping spots.

In a matter of two weeks the lake has risen about 17 feet and has forced park rangers to close off parts of the park.

Other locations closed this weekend are as follows:

Pine Creek:

• All parks – All parks and boat ramps on Pine Creek Lake are currently closed due to flooding.

Hugo:
