Flooding means extra caution for boaters
Recent historic snowfall and
the projected warm, wet fore-
cast this week sets up the per-
fect scenario for potential
flooding on area rivers.
With flooding comes debris
flows with trees, root wads,
and other material that can
impact the safety of boaters on
the water.
The Oregon Marine Board
and marine law enforcement
strongly urge boaters to take
the following precautions:
• Make sure the boat ramp is
open for launching.
The Marine Board is work-
ing closely with facility man-
agers and will include closure
information on the Boat
Oregon Map.
• Scout the river before run-
ning it. Rivers are dynamic,
and don’t stay the same over
time. Boulders and logs move,
trees fall and currents shift.
When in doubt — scout and
portage out.
• Wear a life jacket. Given
the water temperature and
equally cold air temperature,
boaters are encouraged to wear
a properly fitting life jacket on
the outside of their cold weath-
er attire.
• Boat with others and stay
within sight of one another.
• Know your limits and how
to self-rescue. Be sure your
skills and experience are equal
to the river and the conditions.
• Fill out a digital float plan
and print out a copy to let oth-
ers know where you are boat-
ing and when to expect your
return. The digital form, when
submitted, sends an email to
the Marine Board that can be
used later to aid marine law
enforcement should a boater
need help.

cult for wheel chairs and
strollers.
