Weather may delay planned summer opening of Johnson's Shut-Ins

Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park has been a favorite of state park users for many years. In December 2005, the nearby Taum Sauk Reservoir breached, sending 1.3 billion gallons of water through the major use area of the park. Swimming in the shut-ins and other key features of the park are expected to be open for the 2008 summer season. Delays in the settlement will likely push the park opening into 2009.
