ALERT: Lake Bridgeport is open to boating and recreation as of noon Sunday June 7 2015. Eagle Mountain Lake closed to recreational activities including boat traffic until further notice.

The closures are a result of inflows created by heavy rainfall in recent days. Wakes created by boaters could potentially flood low-lying homes at both reservoirs. In addition rising lake levels and debris could create hazardous conditions for other recreational activities.
