Fireworks are a go at Lake Barkley for 4th, but no swimming at beach

Fireworks will go on as planned on the 4th of July at Lake Barkley State Park, but the beach will be closed until 5 p.m. and guests will not be allowed in the water.

That’s according to a Facebook post on the park’s account, which says the fireworks will go off at about 9 p.m.

Officials say no swimming will be allowed due to flooding issues.
