Rough Waters Force Poudre Access Closures in Fort Collins
After nearly 20 people having to be rescued after attempting to adventure on the Poudre, they ve shut down access between College and Shields.
With great weather seeming to have taken so long to get to the Fort Collins area this year, it s not surprising that people are eager to get out on the river. The thing is, conditions are hazardous to do so, at least for the next couple of weeks.
Fort Collins Police Services has announced that they ve closed the parking lot at Legacy Park, off of College, and the North Shields River Access lot to motor vehicles. In addition, they have shut down access to the Poudre s shoreline, entirely, between the North Shields Access and the Skyler Natural Area, just west of Legacy Park.
The 427,000-square-foot facility will service restaurants, clubs and hotels in the region, and provide a safety net for supplies when hurricanes strike.
