Ocmulgee River in minor flood stage

Parts of Amerson River Park and Ocmulgee Heritage Trail have been closed as a result.

MACON, Ga. — Due to the amount of rain over the past two days, Macon-Bibb County has closed several parts of Amerson River Park as well as Ocmulgee Heritage Trail because of high river levels.

In a post on the Macon-Bibb County Facebook page, officials say the boat launch, boat take out and pond trail are closed.

Due to the level of the Ocmulgee River, the Amerson River Park boat launch, boat takeout, and pond trail and the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail below the Spring Street playground are all closed.

The playground at the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail below the Spring Street bridge is also closed until further notice.

As of 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the river was in minor flood stage, according the National Weather Service.
