Officials in Manhattan, Kansas, plan to temporarily close Tuttle Creek Lake's stilling basin for three to four months from May 28, 2024. The closure is due to two construction projects, including a rock overlay project to repair 60-70-year-old riprap, and a gate liner repair project. The park's west entrance will be affected, but these projects are unrelated to the proposed Water Injection Dredging project. For more information, contact the Tuttle Creek Lake project office at 785-539-8511.
