Flooding hits Harrison waterfront hard

With the Coeur d’Alene River running into Lake Coeur d’Alene at Harrison, it’s not surprising the little lakefront city is taking on water right now.

The spring runoff and rains affecting much of the region have flooded Harrison City RV Campground and the neighboring Gateway Marina along the city’s waterfront.

“We have received reports of rocks crumbling and sliding onto Highway 97,” said Mandy Begin, Harrison’s city clerk.

Since the weekend, Harrison has had two landslides and deteriorating conditions on two streets from the ongoing precipitation and snow melt/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here .
