Antlers Beach Regional Park at the south end of Peachland was closed Monday due to flood damage.
The waterfront park, beach, picnic and parking area sustained damage last week as a result of gusty winds whipping up waves on Okanagan Lake.
The park could be closed for up to three weeks as the ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure installs a protective barrier along the shoreline to protect the parking lot and road from further erosion.
