SRWMD lands temporarily closed due to flooding

Live Oak — The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) has closed some of its public lands to vehicular access due to rising water levels along the Suwannee and Alapaha rivers. The following is a list of closed tracts with their counties:

·         Anderson Springs, Suwannee

·         Christian tract, Suwannee

·         Owens Spring, Lafayette

·         Walker tract, Lafayette

·         Holton Creek, Hamilton

·         Jennings Bluff, Hamilton



All roads within these tracts are closed, with the exception of Holton Creek. Visitors may still access Holton Creek, though portions of some roads within this tract are closed.

 

“The District wants to mitigate any safety concerns due to flooding conditions,” said District Land Management Specialist Edwin McCook. “We will continue to monitor conditions on our lands and notify the public of any additional closures.”

 

Up-to-date flooding and rainfall data is posted on the District’s website at www.mysuwanneeriver.com/floodinginformation. Boating advisories and no-wake information are also available.
