High water from heavy rains has caused the Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Allatoona to close a few campsites, but all the parks themselves are open, according to Chief Ranger of Recreation Linda Hartsfield.

Numerous campsites, portions of day use areas and boat ramps are partially submerged and will be unavailable for use until the lake water recedes.

Again, LakeAllatoona.com was told no campgrounds are closed — only individual campsites.
