COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Neighbors in an area near Lake Manawa in Council Bluffs are concerned about camping and other issues near the lake.

About 80 people gathered at Bass Pro Shops to learn about two renovation projects by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources on Lake Manawa State Park. Under the proposed plan, 51 full hookup campsites would be made and dedicated spaces for tent camping would be eliminated, though tent camping would still be allowed.

Mike McGhee, the department’s project manager for lake restoration, says the two projects are expected to total more than $10 million. The Daily Nonpareil reports residents who live in Lake Manawa neighborhoods were concerned about overall park and lake safety. Some wanted to reduce camping numbers or prohibit the recreational activity all together while some supported the department’s plans.
