Maumee River closed for specific paddle events in 2026

The Coast Guard is temporarily closing parts of the Maumee River for several hours on specific dates in 2026. This means boats cannot enter certain areas during scheduled paddle events without special permission.

This rule is a routine safety measure for planned events. It does not change how the Coast Guard regulates waterways generally, nor does it affect long-term access or usage patterns for the Maumee River. It is a temporary restriction, not a structural shift.
