Wintergreen Park in Canajoharie closed for the day

CANAJOHARIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The village of Canajoharie has announced that Wintergreen Park is closed all of Wednesday due to anticipated heavy rains and potential flash flooding. The Boiling Pot and the Mill Street access to the rest of the gorge will also be closed.

The village asks people not to ignore these closures for the safety of themselves and others. The volunteer fire department has had to perform two rescues in the gorge this past week. There will be an update on Thursday morning regarding the park's status once its condition has been assessed.
