Boating advisories issued Finger Lakes Times Finger Lakes Times | 0 comments

Until further notice, Seneca County Sheriff Jack Stenberg has issued a boater advisory following the recent storms and heavy rain.

The advisory includes Seneca and Cayuga lakes as well as the Cayuga-Seneca Canal. Stenberg said there is an unusual amount of runoff going into the lakes and canal.

“Boaters need to exercise additional caution and reduce speed as there are trees, stumps and other various debris floating and partially submerged, which is a hazard to navigation,†he said.

Earlier this week, Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike issued a boater advisory for Keuka Lake, which has tree trunks, limbs, docks and other debris floating in the lake.

Was thinking of launching my new boat tomorrow at Allan Treman or Meyers, does anyone know if those launches are flooded or if the southern end of Cayuga has a lot of debris floating around? Called both places but could not get an answer.

I think it is safe to assume that there may be debris etc. in all of the Finger Lakes right now given the recent rains and high water levels

today Penn Yan village opened ALL flood gates in the outlet to release all the stuff trapped and causing damming of the water flow out of keuka lake - it will dump thru the outlet to Seneca lake tonite and tomorrow and will make the drysden area (mid section) of Seneca VERY dangerous - BE advised.
