ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — Saxapahaw Island Park is normally a popular destination in Alamance County, but lately all that has changed due to recent flooding.
- The Haw River that surrounds the park has hit around 20 feet three times
- What is normally a parking lot is covered in mud as water and debris surround the park, forcing visitors out
- Officials say it could take them a week before they open for hikers
Since last year, the Haw River that surrounds the park has hit around 20 feet three times.
The normal river level is usually around four feet.
Now, what is normally a parking lot is covered in mud as water and debris surround the park, forcing visitors out.
While access to the park has been shut down, crews have been cleaning more frequently.
Officials say it could take them a week before they open for hikers but hope to open again soon.
