Debris in Keystone Lake: USACE warns people to stay alert amid high water levels

Recent rain has increased the water level at Keystone Lake.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) says the high water also means more debris in the lake.

The USACE says it is working to get all of the reservoirs at area lakes back to normal after a lot of rain over the past several months.

Right now, Keystone Lake is about 20 feet above normal, and the flood pool is more than half full.

The Corps is currently releasing water at more than 60,000 cubic feet per second.

While Osage SkyNews 6 was flying over on Wednesday, some logs and other debris were visible in the water—the Corps says that does not pose a big safety threat to the dam, but it is something boaters and swimmers need to be aware of because it can be hard to spot in the water.

USACE says it's hoping for less rain, but even if more falls, it is more than capable of keeping the lakes in good shape.
