Vance Faces Scrutiny After Corps of Engineers Altered Lake Outflow for His Kayak Trip

OHIO, UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – The Secret Service justified raising Ohio river levels to support safe navigation for Vice President JD Vance's security detail during his 41st birthday kayaking trip, officials said.

  • Vice President JD Vance requested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to raise the water level in Ohio's Little Miami River for his family kayaking trip on his birthday.
  • This action, linked to security needs, has drawn criticism for perceived privilege amid budget cuts to the National Park Service.
  • The Corps confirmed a temporary increase in the river's flow, stating it met operational criteria without breaking rules.
  • Critics argue this reflects special treatment not accessed by average citizens who use public water for leisure.
