Mariners are also reminded that the following sections of the Canal system remain closed due to the recent heavy rainfall which has caused high flows and hazardous conditions:

Lock E-29 (Palmyra)
Lock E-30 (Macedon)
Oswego Canal
Lock O-1 (Phoenix) through Lock O-8 (Oswego)

Boaters should be aware of floating debris that has been generated by recent heavy rainfall and proceed with caution, at a "No Wake" speed as some debris may be hard to see. Some buoys (Aids to Navigation) may be off station. Boaters should also verify overhead clearances at bridges before proceeding.
