Ottawa River MUP Report:

-Flooding is mostly west of Relic Rapids, around the Carleton Ave underpass (which is not itself flooded). There is space to go around on the grass but it's a decent amount of trail underwater.

-Minor flooding east of Remic, but it looked about as high this afternoon as this morning. A bit of space to go around, but it wasn't completely covering the MUP.

-The Ottawa is rising. The New Orchard tunnel is flooded at the north end. I was on my little trucker and got wet feet, you might be ok on a normal adult sized bike. Detour up around to Richmond and then cross after the bridge and loop around if you want to avoid the water.

-Dry all along the main MUPs west to at least the greenbelt trail turn off.

-The detour around Watts Creek and Corkstown is a bit of a mess. Signage isn't clear but the road had no cars and that worked out.

-Greenbelt trail is crossed by seasonal streams especially on the north end, but totally passable.

-Rail trail west to Stittsville is fine. I hate the Kanata crossings but the city hates bikes so 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's as far as I went today. 50km round trip.

Another update from my run:

-Mud lake loop is 99.9% snow and ice free and only minimally muddy. I imagine other similarly wooded areas are in like conditions.

-Not many turkeys, they seem to have moved to other parts of town.

Ottawa River MUP Report:

-Clear between New Orchard (and so effectively the War Museum) and Beachconers. It is #OttBike to ice cream season.

-Britannia Park looked clear but I didn't go that far on my run.

Ottawa River MUP Report:

-War Museum to New Orchard TWO snow patches.

-One just west of Remic Rapids (you can go around it)

-The other near the east entrance to the wooded patch just west of Island Park (go over it).

Ottawa River MUP Report:

-Only TWO path crossing patches of snow between New Orchard and Churchill. A couple smaller piles. Wouldn't be surprised if it's all clear by tomorrow.

-Beyond Churchill looked covered in the treed area but it had that melting look to it.

-So Many Robins
