The Lake Texoma level has dropped to 620.9 and clean-up efforts have started. The roads, trails and signs received a lot of damage and will take some time to look nice again. Please remember that all 3 staff members certified to operate heavy equipment left the refuge in March through the Deferred Resignation Program. It will be up to the remaining 4 refuge employees, one equipment operator from Tishomingo Refuge, and Refuge Volunteers to get everything back in order to the extent possible. Patience is appreciated! Thank you to our Outdoor Volunteer Crew who worked hard to get parts of Harris Creek Trail back open. None of the trails are closed to walking, but they have not been cleared so use caution. The goal is to have Wildlife Drive open and usable by July 3rd but most of the gravel washed away and it WILL be dusty!
