Just got word that TPWD is closing lakes and offices/service centers until June 1.

Link?

Nothing on their website about closing lakes.

https://tpwd.texas.gov/

All I have seen announced is they are closing on site stores and taking credit cards only.

There’s a link on SapperTitans Facebook page.

If it's on the internet it has to be true!

That is actually be the best news I've ever heard I will have the lakes to myself Well me and everybody else that is not an idiot. Keep spreading the word!

If you click on the link....IT'S A PRANK I showed the same thing to my son who was heading to the lake early this morning.

Copy and paste the link then.... Seriously! This is getting stupid or people are..

Should of considered the source, lol!

---> TPWD

Yep, itsa prank, like there isn't already enough stress caused by BS flinging going on now..

anybody that has any sense knows it's a prank. Texas parks and wildlife doesn't own any lakes in Texas if they do it is very few they are all controlled by different authorities sabine river authority Trinity River authority corpse of engineers Brazos River authority etc etc etc.

Stupid butt Val Verde county judge closed the ramps on on Amistad not the Park service, people are PO down there

I shared that post without reading it bc I trusted the person I shared it from. I didn’t know it was a prank.

everything that has anything to do with federal is shut down corps of engineers Is run by the feds when the federal government says non-essential employees are out then they close up everything that those non-essential employees maintain.

Park service offices are closed and have been for 2-3 weeks. I know the owners of Amistad marine ( ranger dealer) and the Val Verde county judge ordered the ramps closed. No tournaments allowed as Park service has to issue permits for that and shut that down 3 weeks ago. I'm sure the county will still want the taxes along with school taxes paid. But for a couple of people that can't go fishing is horse apples.

Those times the federal budget did not get extended, all the corps lakes shut down then too. My guess on Amistad is that with so many people not working, they don't want a large number of people from urban areas to travel there for vacation, fishing, etc. The local medical facilities would not be able to handle it if the virus was brought there and spread into the local population. Some people are probably bugging out to places like that to get away from the highly impacted areas.

This won't be a prank for long though. Cedar Hill SP is closed due a worker testing positive.

Florida closed all state parks.

Amistad back open, I'm sure the judge had some visitors

Probably the drug cartels,an empty lake makes them stick out like a flare at midnight.
