On the South end, Osage cove ramps are closed, but the McFadden cove ramp remains open. Gates are shut to minimum flow to allow the White River system, and the Mississippi basin to drain below record flood levels.

Found out yesterday they may not get to release any water until May 12th. If that happens and we get more rain next week, we may get close to max flood pool which is 1044 or 34 ft above normal. Looking like no camping again this year on Kaw until late summer. Keystone is 6 ft from their max flood pool and still have over 25,000 cf coming in. They are releasing 15,000 today. Kaw is at 23 ft above normal pool and still has 20,000 cf coming in so may get interesting.
