While the Gillies Trail remains open from Madawaska Street to Albert Street (green areas of map), the Town of Arnprior has expanded the closed section of Gillies Trail (Waterfront Trail) due to overland flooding.
The trail is now closed from Albert Street through to Robert Simpson Park.
Avoid the area, and exercise caution near any waterways- especially at Robert Simpson Park, Bell Park and McLean Beach.
For accurate and up-to-date information regarding water levels in the area, please refer to the forecast section of the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board website: https://ottawariver.ca/.
For any non-emergency concerns or questions, please email recreation@arnprior.ca.
For any flood-related emergencies please call the Public Works after-hours emergency number at 343.429.6435.
