The missus and I were out for a drive this evening and decided to go poke around the delaware state park and wildlife area.
We turned off of st. rt. 23 onto rt. 229 and immediately came to a road closed sign. the water on the north end of the lake was still at least 4 feet deep on the road.
We turned south on wieser road and got stopped again just before the start of the public hunting area. Again, the water was still at least 3 - 4 feet deep. Couldnt even get close to the lake.
We got back onto 23 headed south and turned into the entrance for the state park and camground. We couldn't go any more than 100 yards, the road was again submerged.
we did go up to the dam and looked out to the lake, the normal shoreline is completely submerged.
I couldn't even get around to the wildlife area on the east side of the lake.
All the flooded area is public hunting. Cant help but wonder if this will have any effect come fall. on our way back up 23, I was amazed at the number of deer in the bean fields by the campground. I guess their normal habitat is drowned out and they have been forced up into the higher ground .
