Reservoir Closing, Water Sent To Kansas, Nebraska
HALE, Colo. (AP) -- Bonny Lake State Park is closing Sunday and sending almost all of its water to Kansas and Nebraska.
Colorado officials began draining the reservoir on Sept. 22, sending the water to the other two states to comply with the Republican River Compact.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists are removing fish from Bonny Lake as it drains over the next two months.
Biologists plan to trap as many fish as possible and relocate sport fish to other public fishing waters.
