Notice to Mariners
Navigation Aids and Reduced Water Levels
May 16, 2020
Mariners are advised to use caution as reduced water levels in some portions of the Canal system, especially near the Erie Canal’s movable dams in the Mohawk Valley, may create swift or other unusual currents and/or expose hazards. This condition may exist until such time that the movable dams are installed, and water levels are raised to their normal summer navigation depths.
Mariners are further advised that navigation aids have not been installed on the Canal system, which includes the Genesee River, north to Corn Hill Landing, Oneida and Cayuga Lakes, Jamesville and Delta Reservoirs, as well as the lights on the Sylvan Beach breakwater.
