Dorena Hickman closed today by low river levels

The Dorena Hickman ferry is closed today by low water on the Mississippi River.

The ferry had been open since Dec. 22, but closed for most of December for the same reason.

The river level at Hickman had been below 5 feet all through December. It's still much lower than the first half of the year, when levels ranged from 18 to 45 feet.
