Rochdale Canal – Navigation Update Please be advised that water levels between Locks 13 and 14 on the Rochdale Canal have dropped significantly, leaving some boats grounded and restricted in movement. Our team is aware of the situation and will be working to restore levels as soon as possible. In the meantime, navigation through this section is currently not possible, and boaters are advised to remain in their current safe mooring locations until further notice. We will reassess the levels tomorrow morning at 9:00am and provide an update thereafter. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolve this issue. Thank you for your cooperation.
