THE FLOODING OF THE GREAT SIOUX RIVER IN THE MISSOURI RIVER HAS DESTROYED MOST OF THE DOCKS AT THE BOAT CLUB AT RIVERSIDE PARK.
FLEET CAPTAIN DENNIS BUTLER SAYS EVEN IF RIVER LEVELS RETURN TO NORMAL, IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE DOCKS ARE RESTORED:
DOCKS1 OC……..TRYING TO REBUILD. :14
THE DOCKS WERE DAMAGED LIKE ENTIRE TREES AND ALL KINDS OF DEBRIS WERE PULLED BY THE GREAT SIOUX, WHICH IS FLOWING AS FAST AS ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN, INCLUDING THE 2011 FLOOD.
BUTLER SAYS THEY WILL DEFINITELY REBUILD AS SOON AS IT IS FEASIBLE:
DOCKS2 OC…..THE CLUB HERE. :12
THE MISSOURI RIVER BOAT CLUB DEDICATED A NEW CLUBHOUSE THIS SPRING, ON HIGHER GROUND THAN THE FIRST DAMAGED BY PREVIOUS FLOODS:
DOCKS3 OC……..ONLY WORSE. :15
THE BENT PROP CLUBHOUSE WILL REMAIN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC IN THE MEANTIME.
