LAGRANGE, Ga. - Several U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks and day-use areas in Georgia are closing beginning Oct. 31 because of the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Parks, day-use areas close amid shutdown

What we know:

Officials said registered campers must leave by 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, unless otherwise directed by local project offices. Reservations affected by the closures will be canceled and fully refunded.

A limited number of parks with standalone boat ramps will stay open, though restrooms and other facilities will be closed. Jointly managed campgrounds and day-use parks will remain open as normal.

Minimal staffing will be available at project offices, but powerhouses and navigation locks will continue operations.
