Several roads closed in Huntsville

Many other roads are experiencing water on the roads and motorists are advised to use caution

Flood concerns are continuing to grow across Muskoka as water levels keep rising.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has extended its flood warning for the district until April 22, with the Town of Huntsville reporting worsening conditions due to snowmelt and recent rainfall.

Officials say localized flooding is already impacting low-lying and flood-prone areas, with more water expected as runoff from the Algonquin watershed moves through the system.

Several roads are now closed, including sections of Etwell Road, Old North Road, Silver Sands Road, Ena Drive, and Dyer Memorial Road.

Many more roads are experiencing water over the road in spots, but are still open to motorists. 

The Town urges residents to take precautions to protect their properties, with sandbag stations open around the clock at the Active Living Centre and the Port Sydney Fire Department.
