Boat launch open again in North Battleford
Boating enthusiasts in the Battlefords will have the opportunity to get back out on the water.
The City of North Battleford announced Thursday that the boat launch for the North Saskatchewan River is reopened to the public, after conditions were deemed safe by Fire Chief and Director of Protective Services Lindsay Holm. Hazards, such as debris and speedy water flow, have decreased.
“The levels look really good, there’s not much for debris floating in the water and it looks like some of the areas that had flooded over in the last week or two have receded,” Holm said.
The initial closure was due to the high water levels, additional debris in the river and rapid currents, occurring the same week that North Battleford had record rainfall.
