Flooding concerns close riverside parks in Lathrop at Mossdale & Dos Reis

This view of the San Joaquin River Sunday afternoon were taken near the Mossdale gauge near the Interstate 5 bridge. The water level Monday at 8:15 p.m. was 20.23 feet, some 8 feet below flood stage. The river level, though, requires a mandatory levee watch. In the top photo the business park that houses Wayfair is shown on the northside of the levee while the foreground is where the Mossdale mobile home park was before being removed a number of years ago.
Rising water levels have prompted the closure of two county parks in Lathrop along the San Joaquin River. The swift and rising San Joaquin River on Wednesday triggered full closure of Dos Reis, including its partially open campground. Until now, only half of the park’s campsites were available as maintenance crews continue to deal with previous storm damage.
