Flooding cuts off park of popular forest walk

The popular riverside walk at Drumboe Wood is underwater.

Last night's torrential rain has taken the stretch that runs adjacent to the River Finn and is a much-used recreational path for walkers from Stranorlar, Ballybofey, and beyond.

This area is often affected when there is a downpour but last night's rain has covered many parts that have escaped in the past.

It has stopped regulars however as many people enjoyed the alternative routes they've had to take but caution is urged as there are flooded parts affecting these alternative routes too.

On the other side of the river, the local Sean MacCumhaill's GAA Club has had to postpone a ladies' game due to take place on the practice field this morning due to flooding. It has submerged one corner making it unsuitable for a game.
