(KLZA)-- Beginning Monday, the Nemaha Natural Resources District is limiting some park amenities. 

Last week the Nemaha NRD Board of Directors voted to to make all restrooms,  playgrounds, and picnic shelters at NRD parks off limits. 

This includes Kirkman's Cove,  Iron Horse Trail Lake, Duck Creek Recreation Area,  Wirth Brothers Lake and Prairie Owl.  

The facilities will be closed  until further notice in an effort to protect both the public who visit the parks and the staff who maintain the areas. 

All other activities including fishing, camping and hiking are allowed.  Group activities of more than 10 people are prohibited and visitors are urged to practice good social distancing.
