DANVILLE — Two days of intermittent rains have shut down boating along the Middle Fork River again.

For the last few weeks, the section of river from the north boundary of the Middlefork Fish and Wildlife Area to the south boundary of Kickapoo State Park has been stints of closure because of rising river levels for periods of a few days.
