The Ministry of Natural Resources \u2013 Bracebridge-Minden-Parry Sound District is advising area residents and visitors that a Flood Warning is in effect in the district until Wednesday,\u00a0 April 29, 2026<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This message applies district\u2011wide across the MNR Bracebridge\u2013Minden\u2013Parry Sound\u00a0 District, including portions of the District of Parry Sound, District of Muskoka, and County of\u00a0 Haliburton. All watersheds within the district are affected, including the Severn, Boyne,\u00a0 Black, French, Burnt, Gull, Pickerel, Seguin, South, Magnetawan, and Muskoka River watersheds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MNR advises municipalities and residents to take immediate action to safeguard homes and property. Flooding could occur quickly and with little or no warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several areas are experiencing elevated water levels and flows. In some locations, levels are comparable to those observed in 2019 and may result in localized infrastructure impacts and flooding.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents and visitors should anticipate lake and river water levels to start to stabilize in some areas over the next week, with decreases possible in some locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipalities hold primary responsibility for emergency response to flood events, including protecting residents and property, undertaking first response actions, and coordinating recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/floods and your local municipality for more information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents who have been affected by high water and flow conditions in the past should continue to take necessary action to protect or secure any vulnerable property in proximity to rivers and lakes and closely monitor developing conditions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower-lying portions of known flood-prone areas may be impacted to varying degrees as runoff enters local watercourses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MNR advises residents to exercise extreme caution concerning ice conditions. No ice is safe ice. Most lakes within the area are ice-free or have limited ice cover remaining.\u00a0 Increased water levels and temperatures may erode the ice and create floating ice hazards that could damage waterfront infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MNR also advises extreme caution when using forest access roads for outdoor activities, as many are seasonally inundated with water and prone to washouts. These roads may be impassable due to current water levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slippery stream banks and fast-flowing, cold water will create hazardous conditions around all water bodies. Residents are reminded to keep a close watch on weather conditions,\u00a0 regularly check for updated messages, exercise caution near fast-moving rivers and streams and maintain close supervision of children and pets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions.  Further updates will be issued as appropriate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description of Weather System <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, dry and warm conditions are expected over the next seven days, which may limit additional runoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7-day weather forecast is predicting daytime highs of 12\u00b0C to 17\u00b0C and overnight lows between 1\u00b0C and 7\u00b0C with up to 10 mm of rainfall.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description of Current Conditions <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

River levels and flows within the district remain elevated and are expected to persist across most locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake water levels in several areas are near or have exceeded the upper limits of the  Normal Operating Zone (NOZ) and are now in the High-Water Zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining snowpack is limited and is expected to have minimal impact on runoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
