The City of Dubuque Leisure Services Department has announced that Miller Riverview Park and Campground will re-open to the public on Monday, Sept. 9. The park and its campground closed due to elevated Mississippi River levels in late May.
Staff has worked diligently to get the park open following an extended flood and extensive clean-up process including major electrical issues caused by storm damage.
"We appreciate the patience of the public while we have worked to get the park open," said City of Dubuque Park Division Manager Stephen Fehsal. "Our process this year was impacted and extended due to significant wind and rain events on top of the high river levels."
Campers are asked to keep in mind that current campground conditions are dusty due to bare soil areas from flooding damage.
The park will remain open until the fourth Sunday in October (Oct. 27), weather permitting. Reservations can be made online at www.cityofdubuque.org/millerriverview
Miller Riverview Park and Campground is a 20-acre park located on the Mississippi River at 1851 Admiral Sheehy Dr.
