Rains close main campground at Middle Fork

COLLISON – The Middle Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area's main equestrian campground is closed until further notice, but officials said people and their horses can still camp out in other areas of the state park.

"We're still open," site superintendent John Hott said. He said people can camp on the day-use parking lot. "It's all gravel. We've always used it as an overflow area."
