Normally the water that flows through Texas State University's Sewell Park is crystal clear.
On Monday, it looked more like chocolate milk.
Flood water destroyed one of the park's walkways over the San Marcos River, but the flood damage didn't keep people from taking in some rays.
For now, the city of San Marcos' riverside parks are off limits.
“It’s nice out, the sun’s out, the rain is gone, a lot of the flooding is gone but the river parks are still closed,” said City of San Marcos Communications Director Kristi Wyatt.
Crews spent much of the day Monday clearing debris from the popular Rio Vista Park.
On Friday, the river left its banks covering nearby ball fields and tennis courts.
“There are many many hazards, there are trees overturned, there’s mud that has to dry out before we can let people get close to the rivers,” said Wyatt.
The city also closed its parks after the Memorial Weekend flood. In fact, some still haven’t re-opened. Clean up had begun but that work has been undone by another flood.
“There’s is still work to be done in some of those areas but obviously we have a lot of cleanup do and until we get that done we just want people to stay away from those areas,” said Wyatt.
Hays County has also closed Jacob’s Well Natural Area because of damage from the recent flood.
The parks at 5 Mile Dam were also damaged, they hadn’t re-opened following Memorial Weekend and will also remain closed.
