Alberta Environment has advised that the St. Mary River is currently running at a high level and is quite full.

Fast-moving currents, unstable banks, and cold water conditions can create hazardous situations, especially for children, pets, and recreational users. Please stay alert and use extra care around the river and surrounding areas.
