Families disappointed by the lack of splashing are turning to other lakes and pools to beat the heat, while paddleboard and kayak rentals see a boost as the only way to access the water without a boat. Though the beach stays off-limits, the rest of the park remains open, and officials are watching water levels closely, hoping for a turnaround soon.
