The Ministry of Natural Resources flood warning continues to be in effect for the District of Muskoka.
According to the Town of Huntsville, water levels have increased significantly due to ongoing snowmelt combined with recent rainfall moving through the watershed. Officials are urging residents to take all necessary precautions as conditions evolve.
Current road closures include Old North Road from civic address 137 to Fowlers Road, Etwell Road from civic address 2012 to 2087, Silver Sands Road at civic address 58, Ena Drive from civic address 215 to end of road, and Dyer Memorial Road.
In addition, the town has issued cautions for several other roads where water is present, but routes remain passable. These include Oudaze Lake Road, Harp Lake Road, Old Muskoka Road, Sam English Road, Whitehouse Road, Rockhaven Road, Glen Acres Road, and Stephenson Road 12 West.
As flooding on roads occurs, town crews are actively placing barricades and signage where needed. Residents are advised to drive with caution, obey posted closures, and avoid flooded areas.
Sandbag materials are available for residents to fill 24/7, with pickup locations at the Active Living Centre in Huntsville and the Port Sydney Fire Department.
Town officials say they will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates as needed.
