Wondering if anyone has insight to current water levels on the Crow River, specifically the portion from Proulx to Little Crow? Thanks!

I spoke to the park a few days ago as I have a similar inquiry on the Tim and Petawawa. I was told that the water levels are actually high on the river systems and that no alerts are active as of now. Having done that section many times I can say that I have never had any issues with the water levels through that stretch. The river is wider and deeper than other sections of the crow.

i have used a square stern canoe and 2 hp motor on that river spring and fall many times , only broke one shear pin on the prop , got it fixed put it was a pain , as m.p said " wider and deeper "
frankie k. told me he would run motor boats down the crow to lavielle many years ago.

That surprises me about the water levels on the rivers being high. I’ve never seen the levels on Canoe Lake as low as they are right now. I was able to walk underneath the end of my in-laws’ dock today to get a floating life jacket (water was about shoulder deep, would usually be well over my head)

hello algonquin lakes,,
perhaps the dam at the north end of canoe lake has some thing to do with water levels ? many hippo rocks headed into little doe , l.o.l.
the trent canal dams between peterborough and lakefield seems to be holding back a lot of water, while everything is burnt brown

just did the section of the crow from the forks to lavieille... water seemed to be high. Was also on the Opeongo river, and white partridge creek... same thing. I was also shocked to see how high the water was, with the lack of rain we have had.
