Information stated for those who are planning to spend time at the lake, bring prepared foods to enjoy.
The added precaution is in addition to normal park rules that also prohibit glass, confetti and swimming and wading near the boat ramp.
Parks hours this weekend are from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., and it will cost $15 per vehicle to enter on Friday and Saturday and $20 on Sunday. Should the lake reach its capacity, additional vehicles will not be allowed and social media pages will be updated, the city stated.
