MDC anticipates water overtopping the levee near the area because of forecasted high river levels.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Columbia Bottom Conservation Area in Spanish Lake is closing today because MDC officials anticipate water overtopping the Mississippi River levee south of the area.
"Since floodwaters are currently up against the main levee on the river side, we are closing the area in advance of flooding as a proactive step should a levee failure occur," said MDC Wildlife Regional Supervisor John Vogel. The area's canoe and kayak access on the Mississippi River was closed Wednesday.
