The rivers are running high and fast and the water is cold. Be
prepared and cautious if venturing out on the rivers! Watch for
debris and low clearance under bridges. Beginning in 2013, water
will no longer be available at McDowell Bridge Landing,
Riverside Landing, and the Marshland District Office on Highway

now barely visible.
