Spring and summer flooding will affect the habitat conditions that waterfowl hunters will find this autumn at some Missouri

Department of Conservation (MDC) areas managed with a wetland emphasis. But some wetlands will offer normal conditions for migrating waterfowl.
A news release says according to Missouri River level predictions by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, there is a possibility that major highway access to Grand Pass Conservation Area may be closed at times. Some levees were damaged by earlier high water. Large rainfall and flooding events this fall could increase the chances for breaches in levees. High water may prompt portions of the area to be closed to ensure user safety.
