Watershed Flood Zone near Cat Trail

  • Two examples of flooding near the crossing of MacGillivray Rd and the Cataraqui Trail. Video of the most recent washout of MacGillivray Rd (2019). Photos of flooding (2017) 
  • Washouts occurred due to beaver dam breaks in 1986, 2002, 2013 and 2019. 
  • This is a frequent flood zone due to high water flow involving the CONFLUENCE of the creek from Hinge Lake and the Cataraqui Trail (railway) ditch carrying water from the west.  
  • The CONFLUENCE of these two creeks is at the crossing of MacGillivray Rd and the Cataraqui Trail. Water flows on both sides of the Cat Trail in this section. 
  • The flow continues to Stonehouse Lake and from there to other lakes leading to Opinicon Lake and the Rideau canal. Much of the time, these two creeks look like small ditches. 
  • They are waterways, not ditches.
