Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park to reopen by Memorial Day

An article on the AP (and this one in the Post) says Johnson's Shut-Ins will be reopened by Memorial Day however on a limited basis. You will only be able to view the shut-ins and hiking is still prohibited in work zones. Meetings have been setup to take public opinions on the park's restoration plans.

Park plan meetings:

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources will hold three more public
meetings this week on the future of Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park. They will
run from 4 to 7 p.m.

Today at the Department of Natural Resources conference center, 1738 East Elm
Street, Jefferson City

Today at the Farmington High School cafeteria, 1 Black Knight Drive, Farmington

Wednesday at the St. Louis County Library's Oak Bend Branch at 842 South Holmes
Avenue

A stream restoration plan for the east fork of the Black River in the park will
be presented at the library at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

An online survey also is available at www.mostateparks.com/jshutinsdamage.htm.
