| Article: | End of summer fun The long Labor Day holiday was wrapping up what many were calling a good summer of outdoor recreation for Nebraska.
The overall assessment comes despite drought-depleted reservoirs in the western part of the state and outbreaks of toxic algae in several lakes and ponds.
Drought took Lake McConaughy levels to about 20 percent of capacity by this weekend. However, Nebraska's biggest lake still had enough water for boating, fishing and other water recreation. It also had an abundance of beach, thanks to the near-record low lake level. |
