Water Safety on Mazinaw Lake: A Shared Responsibility

Every year, when we ask MPOA members what our top three priorities should be, water safety is always near or at the top—and rightfully so. Enjoying the water is why we’re all here, and creating a safe environment for everyone is something we all care deeply about.

For your info: Emergency Access Points

As discussed at our recent AGM, to dispatch EMS, Fire department or OPP a 911 number or a blue 'civic address' number is needed. Keep these emergency access points (for boat-only cottagers) handy and visit them in advance to know exactly where they are.:

Brown's Camp: 61 Addington Road 5, RR# 1 Cloyne
Tapping's Landing public boat launch: 371 North Mazinaw Heights Road
Smarts Marina: 1018 Smart Road, Cloyne (*Note: this is during business hours…Smarts Marina closes their gate at the close of business)
# 16833 Hwy 41 (Buckley's)

Water Level Update

Here is an update on Water Levels from our friends at the MVCA.

Water Safety Statement is an update to the Flood Watch for the Mississippi River Watershed issued on April 28, 2026.

Weather Forecast: Seasonal temperatures are expected over the next two weeks, with daytime highs in the 10–15°C range. Light precipitation is forecast over the next seven days, with cumulative totals up to 30 mm. No significant weather systems are currently anticipated.

Watershed Conditions: Water levels and flows are gradually returning to seasonal norms. Some lakes remain in water safety conditions, and spring rainfall events may temporarily elevate additional lakes into similar conditions.

At this time, water levels and flows are not expected to increase significantly, and system operations are transitioning toward maintaining stable conditions for summer recreation and seasonal water use.

Risks: Rivers and streams may experience higher water levels, fast flowing water and slippery or unstable banks.

Actions: Residents are reminded to exercise extreme caution near all water bodies due to high flows and slippery conditions. Parents are encouraged to remind children about these dangers and provide appropriate supervision.

Residents in flood prone areas are advised to maintain close watch on water levels and flows and take the necessary precautions to protect their property by:

Ensuring sump pumps are clear, in good working condition and have a backwater valve.
Having a portable generator and backup pump available.
Ensuring downspouts are clear and the outlet is at least 3 meters from any structure.
Removing or securing items that might float away if flows increase.
Keeping emergency phone numbers handy.
Familiarizing yourself with your municipality’s emergency preparedness plan.

Duration: This message is in effect until May 12, 2026 at 5:00PM or until an update has been issued.

For More Information: Daily water levels and flows are available on the MVCA website at www.mvc.on.ca/water-levels. For more information, contact:
