🐍 Update from the “Snake Bite” Saga at Veterans Point 🐍

A little while back, we shared information based on Butler County EMS reporting logs about a reported snake bite at Veterans Point and passed along a few friendly reminders to stay aware while enjoying the great outdoors… because hey, anything can happen outside, right?

Well… turns out Mother Nature wasn’t the culprit this time. After speaking with the El Dorado State Park manager, we learned the individual who called EMS was, shall we say… enjoying the lake experience a little more than usual, with a few to many adult beverages.

The park manager responded to the scene and confirmed there was no snake bite. No snake. No drama. Just… to much alcohol.

We do want everyone to stay safe. But I guess we also need to remind you to be a bit more responsible!

Huge shoutout to the El Dorado State Park manager and staff for always responding quickly and being ready for anything at the lake. Whether it’s actual wildlife, questionable reports, or someone confidently identifying imaginary reptiles after a day in the sun and drinking just a little to much… they’ve got it covered.
