A tree has fallen and is currently restricting navigation in the area.

There may also be submerged stones, bricks, and branches, which could make passage difficult or unsafe. We advise boat owners to proceed with caution and use their discretion when navigating this section.

We have instructed our contractors to clear this fallen tree, and we will update this notice as soon as the area has been fully reopened.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
