TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — With the discovery of Quagga Mussel larvae in the waters of Centennial Park, more waterways are being closed around the region and officials are also asking the public's help to contain the invasive species. On Tuesday, both Twin Falls and Jerome Counties began closing bodies of water to help prevent the spread of the Quagga Mussel larvae discovered on Monday. Centennial Park was the first to close, but Jerome County quickly made the decision to close access to Wilson Lake, due to the lake's proximity to the Snake River.
