Water is Back Up after the Storms

The level of the lake was pretty high at the beginning of this season, but as it is prone to do, it dropped significantly as the summer went on.

On August 25th, the water level was 94.55 (that is equivalent to 794.55' above sea level.)  After the big storms went through early last week, it was up 95.30, up about 9".  We were there last week and on Sunday I noted that our pier deck was 14-16" above the lake surface, and on Wednesday morning there was only about 6" of difference.  Big change in 3 days!

When we got there on Sunday, there were 7-8' of beach past the sailboat and 6-7' of beach in front of our deck.  Wednesday morning after the storm it had risen 9" vertically and 4-5' up the shore.


Sam's boat is sitting about where the edge of the beach was Monday.
