Please be advised that there are currently two sunken boats located within this stretch of the waterway.

These vessels may pose a hazard to navigation, particularly to smaller craft or those unfamiliar with the area.

We strongly urge all boaters, paddlers, and waterway users to exercise extra caution when travelling through this section.

Visibility of the sunken boats may be limited depending on water levels and weather conditions, and submerged debris could present additional risks.

Our team is actively monitoring the situation and working to ensure the safety of all users.

In the meantime, please reduce speed, remain vigilant, and avoid the immediate vicinity of any marked hazard zones.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
