At the East Channel upper parting with the Maisemore (west) channel, we have reports of a submerged island of sediment on the left hand (east) side which extends to the middle of the river.

Boaters are advised to keep to the right hand (west) bank where our survey indicates depths greater than 1.5m at summer level.

Please follow any additional advice from our lock keepers.

The navigation remains open, subject to current lock opening times.
