The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University has announced plans to reopen after closing in March due to COVID-19 pandemic and public health orders. Beginning Friday, the Meadows Center will be open to the public in a limited capacity Monday-Sunday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
To ensure the health and safety of staff and guests, the Meadows Center has implemented temporary procedures for visiting Spring Lake. Guests will be required to wear a face mask and maintain a distance of at least six feet from others at all times. Glass-bottom boat tours will run at 50% capacity and the open-air boats will also be equipped with plexiglass to create a barrier between boat drivers and guests. Other safety initiatives implemented by the Center’s staff will include stringent cleaning protocols before and after each boat tour.
“We want to thank the public for all of your patience as we made a plan for the best way to reopen Spring Lake in the midst of a pandemic,” said Miranda Wait, Deputy Director of Spring Lake Operations. “Our guests have been dearly missed by the Meadows Center family and we look forward to welcoming you back.”
