Shut-Ins to close Monday for redevelopment
Saturday, September 30, 2006
Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park will close to the public starting Monday for a mass redevelopment, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources announced Friday. The park was heavily damaged in December when the Taum Sauk Reservoir breach flooded the park with 1.3 billion gallons of water. Work on the park's long-term redevelopment will begin with the Monday closing. The DNR anticipates the park will be fully operational in 2008. AmerenUE is responsible for the redevelopment of the park. For more information, call the park at (573) 546-2450 or the DNR at (800) 334-6946.
