Re: How low is your local lake

What's wrong with trying to find the _______ you dropped overboard during the summer? Fill in the blank.

Raystown 6" above recreational pool, Sayers up 4". Here in Central PA we rely on local rain and it seems to be a wetter than normal Fall.

Re: How low is your local lake

Simcoe is down about two feet right now. They open the Wasdell Falls dam at the beginning of Aug to bring water levels down in anticipation of the spring thaw. We have been petitioning Parks Canada and Ministry of Natural Resources to postpone the the summer drain until the fall. http://www.petitiononline.com/drainage/petition.html

Tried to sign it but it would not let me ????
Maybe because I am in Korea right now. Will try again when I get home.

Lake Huron (great Lakes) is down about two feet, but it does cycle and we are really enjoyiong the low levels for our nice sandy beaches. It could stay like this forever and I would be happy.

You guys have got to get out your metal detectors! Could probably pay for it in one outing. Motors, jewelry, lures, coins, keys, treasure unnamed.

Now is the time to collect a few extra anchors.:)

Re: How low is your local lake

Last Thanksgiving the weather was so good and the lake level was up enough we were skiing and tubing.
So sad !!!!
