River flooding affects Trumbull metroparks

WARREN

Thomas A Swift MetroPark in Braceville Township and Canoe City MetroPark in Leavittsburg have reopened to the public except for the floating dock at Canoe City, which will remain closed until further notice.

The parks were closed Sunday morning because of anticipated high water levels on the Mahoning River, which crested at 12.4 feet at Leavittsburg Sunday but is now down to 10 feet.

River flooding is considered minor from 10 feet to 13.5 feet, moderate from 13.5 feet to 16.5 feet.
