River levels are dropping rapidly, and there is less floating debris.
Some landings are still under water.
People who boat or canoe on the river should still exercise caution and wear their personal floatation devices, said Superintendent Andersen. We will be repairing flood damage to landings and facilities as soon as possible. A safety boom that extended across the river upstream of the hydroelectric dam broke free last week. Excel Energy expects water levels will drop enough to allow replacement of the safety boom in the next three weeks. Until the boom is replaced, warning buoys will be installed by Excel Energy downstream of Lions Parks to mark the upstream end of the closure.
