Ministry issues water safety bulletin for Magnetawan River Watershed

The Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a water safety bulletin for portions of the District of Parry Sound, District of Muskoka and County of Haliburton.

Officials say the bulletin is in effect for the Muskoka River Watershed and Magnetawan River Watershed until June 19.

Elevated water levels and flows could be seen on Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, the Moon River and Ahmic Lake, according to the Ministry notice.

Officials said residents who have been impacted by high water levels and flows in the past should continue to take necessary action to protect their property.

“MNR also advises extreme caution when using forest access roads for outdoor activities, as many may have been damaged by seasonal conditions, including washouts. These roads  may be impassable,” states the notice.
