Ministry Issues Flood Watch for Parts of the District

Warmer days and above-zero nights in the forecast could speed up snowmelt. A Flood Watch is in effect for parts of the District, including the North Branch of the Muskoka River.

The Township of Lake of Bays is primarily within the Muskoka Watershed and a Flood Watch means that a potential for flooding on these watersheds exists. Residents who have been affected by high water and flow conditions in the past should continue to take necessary precautions to protect and secure any vulnerable property in proximity to rivers and lakes. 

Update: Ministry Issues Flood Watch for North Branch of the Muskoka River Until March 28
