Rain Raises Peace; Arbuckle Parking Ban

The steady rain this month has finally raised the level and flow in the Upper Peace River to the point where it may be navigable again, according to provisional figures posted on the USGS Realtime Streamflow site.

It’s a good idea to check conditions downstream for obstructions.

In other paddling news, the County Commission is scheduled to take action Tuesday to ban parking at the Reedy/Livingston Creek bridge on Rucks Dairy Road in Lake Wales Ridge State Forest’s Arbuckle Unit.

There will continue to be legal parking nearby.
