Prince George, B.C.-  The City of Prince George has  decided to close the trails in Cottonwood Island Park.

Although not flooded, increased water levels  have created puddles and pooling water  along the  trails.  As a precautionary measure,  the City  is  putting up signs and barricades to deter foot traffic from the  canoe launch to  just south of the rail bridge.

The parking lot remains open.

City staff will continue monitoring the river level, and will  advise when the park trails will be  reopened.
