Due to the rising level of the Ocmulgee River, the Parks & Beautification Department is closing the following areas:

• Boat ramps on the north and south end of Amerson River Park.
• Dirt trails around the pond in Amerson River Park.
• Paved trail between the Overlook and north boat ramp in Amerson River Park.
• Spring Street boat ramp and the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.

These areas will remain closed until the river level recedes and any cleanup needed is completed. People using the rest of Amerson River Park the next few days are asked to avoid any areas that are marked off as more may be closed as the river continues to rise.
