Walkerton Hydro Dam Update

UPDATE ON WALKERTON HYDRO DAM 📍 Location: Walkerton Hydro Dam, between Walkerton and Mildmay, by the Brant Carrick boundary line.

Saugeen Conservation Authority is pleased to inform you that the debris blocking the Walkerton Hydro Dam was removed over the weekend. However, we would like to emphasize the importance of continued caution in this area. Although the fallen trees have been cleared, there are still inherent hazards associated with the dam structure itself.

All canoeists and watercraft users should continue to PORTAGE around the dam for your safety. The river's currents near the dam can be unpredictable and strong. Even experienced paddlers should exercise extreme caution and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Let’s all play our part in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on our beautiful waterways! Happy paddling, but remember - Safety First! 💙
