Increased water flow at Lock 42 - Couchiching
Parks Canada advises that due to higher-than-normal water levels on Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching, the discharge valves at Lock 42 – Couchiching, near Washago, will be opened on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
This operation will immediately increase the water levels and flows between Lock 42 - Couchiching and the channel below the Severn River.
The public is advised to stay well clear of this area in the channel above and below the lock due to the unsafe high flows and exposed open water.
Residents and visitors should exercise extreme caution.
