The city has closed Paddlewheel Park as water levels continue to rise.

On Saturday, Cottonwood Island Park and parts of the Heritage River trails were also shuttered. Those closures remain in effect.

According to city communications manager Chris Bone, higher than average temperatures have sped up the spring runoff, causing river levels to rise.

"The high volume of water is extremely dangerous and banks can be unstable due to associated erosion," said Bone.

Boaters are also being asked to exercise caution as high water levels obscure floating debris and submerged obstacles.
