North unit is closed at Beaver Lake
Boat ramps are closed at other lakes, due the water coming into the lakes creating whirlpools and very dangerous situations.
You can still bank fish
You can still get into the north unit the long way around on foot.. but it's treacherous and the water is still coming up pretty fast... basically if you have troubles back there, you'll be on your own..

Causing whirlpools? That's a good reason to not be out there in a boat.

I just posted some pictures from Peabody :)
DNR said the water was rushing so fast in a few of the more narrow inlets / places it was creating a vortex effect.
