A sinkhole has opened up in an area below the dam at Tuttle Creek Lake in Manhattan.

It happened around 5:00 pm Thursday in a parking lot adjacent to the stilling basin, also known as the tubes.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the sinkhole developed as a result of sustained high releases from the lake.

They say there is no threat to the safety of the dam.

Releases from the stilling basin continue on the opposite side until the sinkhole can be further investigated.

The area around the stilling basin has been closed to the public until further notice.
