    Downed trees and hanging limbs present a tremendous hazard to the public along the forest walking trails.

    Sims stated that many other public safety priorities are ranked far ahead of the park cleanup for LaRue County work crews. The park closure could continue for several weeks as county crews see to the needs and safety of citizens.
