Warm temperatures and heavy rain can mean dangerous waterways.
In Parry Sound, currents and changing water conditions make the ice and water surrounding the Cascade Generating Station even more hazardous.
Lakeland Holdings CEO Chris Litschko says extra care needs to be exercised as potential flooding makes rivers and streams more threatening.
He also says avoiding these waterways is the best way of staying safe.
A flood warning from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is in effect for the Parry Sound region until February 27th.
