"Unprecedented Wind Shifts Lake 2 Miles in Death Valley, Prompting Closure to Boating"

TL;DR
Strong winds in Death Valley National Park caused Lake Manly to shift two miles north, leading to shallower and muddier water. Boating on the lake has been suspended due to the drying conditions, despite the recent influx of visitors attracted by the rare opportunity to kayak. The lake's formation is a result of rare heavy rainfall, and although boating is no longer permitted, the lake may still offer picturesque reflections through April.
