Brooksville, Fla.-(Newsradio 970 WFLA)-The dry weather that has caused wildfires has also resulted in low water levels in lakes and rivers in West Central Florida.
As a result of those low water levels, Hernando County has closed some public boat ramps along the Withlacoochee River. Both the Nobleton Park and the Lake Townsen Park ramps are shut down until the rain can bring water levels back to normal.
The low water levels make launching a boat difficult and can cause damage. Repairs to the ramps will be made during the temporary closures.
