Spring Flooding 2023 Update for Champlain Park

The water is projected to continue rising for the next few days. In particular, kids and pets may not be as cautious as needed around water that is very cold and very fast moving. The safest course of action is to avoid the area until the flooding abates. Please check the websites listed below to stay updated on spring flooding:
