Stay Out of the Puntledge River
With summer like temperatures here already, BC Hydro is warning to say out of Comox Valley rivers, including the popular Puntledge River. Labels: recreation
Last week 3 young adults had to be rescued by Search and Rescue after the currents became too much for them as they were tubing down the puntledge. With high snow levels still up on the hills, measured at 135 percent of normal last week, Comox Lake levels are high, forcing Hydro to spill water from the lake.
The river flow is currently 20 times what we would normally see this time of year, and as a result safety is at a minimum for swimmers.
So what does this mean? Stay out of the water. There will be plenty of time in the coming months to tube and swim once water levels are back to normal levels.
