Due to heavy rainfall in the region last week, Parks Canada advises recreational users to avoid Trent River due to high water levels. Global News

Lower Trent Conservation issued a statement advising high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors that could be dangerous to recreational users.

The statement, which is in effect until Oct. 1st, advises anglers, canoeists, hikers, children and pets that difficulties may occur because of rainfall in the watersheds upstream.

As a result, the water levels and flows in the Trent River are higher than normal.
