Flood Warning in effect until May 06

The Ministry of Natural Resources – Bracebridge-Minden-Parry Sound District is advising area residents and visitors that a Flood Warning is in effect in the district until Wednesday, May 06, 2026.

This message applies district‑wide across the MNR Bracebridge–Minden–Parry Sound District, including portions of the District of Parry Sound, District of Muskoka, and County of Haliburton. All watersheds within the district are affected, including the Severn, Boyne, Black, French, Gull, Pickerel, Seguin, South, Magnetawan, and Muskoka River watersheds.

The locations of greatest concern at this time, due to ongoing high water impacts, include:

• Lake Muskoka
• Lake Rosseau & Lake Joseph
• Moon River including Bala Reach
• Gull River watershed including community of Minden
• French River & Pickerel River

Several areas are experiencing elevated water levels and flows. In some locations, levels are comparable to those observed in 2019 and may result in localized infrastructure impacts and flooding.

Residents and visitors should anticipate lake and river water levels to continue to stabilize over the next week, with decreases possible in some locations.
