Boaters should proceed with caution through these areas at a "No Wake" speed as debris may be hard to see. Water levels may be lower than normal in some areas. Some buoys may be off station.

The Erie Canal between Lock E-16 and Lock E-17 currently remains closed to navigation. An update will follow.
