Lewisville Lake Park closed indefinitely due to safety concerns, 2 recent drowning deaths
LEWISVILLE (CBSNewsTexas.com) - The swim beach at Lewisville Lake Park is closing indefinitely.
Officials say they're closing the park to public access due to safety concerns associated with several recent incidents, including two drowning deaths.
The closure will be in effect until a "more lasting solution can be identified by park and public safety personnel."
Lower lake levels and a receding shoreline has increased risks associated with swimming at the lake. Officials are urging park visitors to not attempt to bypass warning signs or barricades.
They are also reminding park visitors that life jackets should be worn anytime a person goes into the water. There are free loaner stations in Lewisville Lake Park and Tower Bay where visitors can get life jackets.
