APALACHICOLA RIVER ENTRANCE - APALACHICOLA RIVER
General / MSIB
Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint (ACF) River System - Seasonal Channel Conditions/ATON Discrepancies --- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concluded the 2025 navigation season on the ACF and suspended water releases to support the 7 ft navigation channel. Current hydrological conditions, meteorological forecasts, and basin-wide modeling do not support the extension of the navigation season. Aids to navigation may be off station or riding low in the water between Miles 109.0 to 0.0, in the Apalachicola River. The relocation and replacement of these aids will be addressed when the 7-foot navigational channel is restored. POC: USACE (251) 694-4074 or USCG (251) 382-8653
