We had a similar closure last year due to active eagles in the area. Once again we have active eagles this year. But the closure is being extended due to the construction project replacing the bulkhead at Live Oak Point. Closed areas include the pumphouse, Hog Pen Point, Long Dike, Live Oak Point and Cross Dike trails.
