High water on the Muskingum River prompted captain of the Lorena Sternwheeler, Bill Page, to cancel all rides for the day.

According to the Zanesville Muskingum Chamber of Commerce, the boat cannot pass underneath bridges when the water is too high.

Calls have been made to everyone with reservations for the Wine Glass Paint Party scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight.

A pair of school group chartered rides were also canceled this morning.

Despite levels being too high for the Lorena Sternwheeler, Emergency Management Director Jeff Jadwin said there are no flooding concerns as the river is below flood stage throughout the county.
