DEL RIO, TX – In accordance with the President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America and recent Val Verde County ordinance regarding COVID-19, the Lake Amistad announced Tuesday that all its facilities will be closing to the public effective immediately, in order to comply with federal and state guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the disease. The closure includes boat ramps, campgrounds, hiking trails and picnic areas. This closure is effective immediately and will be enforced until midnight on April 3, 2020. The situation will then be assessed to determine if a continued closure is warranted.
