RVs Inundated, Frozen In Place After Ice Jam Floods Riverside Campground

Flooding along the St. Regis River in Brasher Falls. Trailers inundated at a campground. No one’s quite sure what’s next.

Camping trailers flooded, bound in ice — and with no way out. A few people rescue theirs just in time Saturday at Jelly Beans Riverside Campground.

“I hauled mine out. And a friend of mine, we were going to take his out. But it was getting dark then and he wanted to wait. And now his is underwater,” said Roger Currier, town of Brasher resident.

The water rose overnight Saturday. They think it’s because of an ice jam.

Campground owner Denny Burnham has been fielding plenty of nervous calls and texts. His own trailer is trapped at Lot 9. He said he feels for everyone. But it will be some time before much can be done.
