I kept track of the water level for a couple years, the charts are below. I based the level on the over-flow concrete level at the dam. All you have to do is messure the level at the dam and then put in a pipe by your shore with some messurement marks on it. Hope someone will pick up on this and contribute some info to a Water Level page…
From what I've seen (last 30+ years) and heard from long time LL'ers, this is the lowest it has been - except for when they did some dam repair and drained the lake several feet. It must have been down at least 7-8 inches this summer. Normally I don't think it fluctuates more than +/- 5 inches.
Sorry to hear about your prop, but to tell you the trueth, I actually don't mind the level being down a little, it helps save on the shore line...
HA! Guess those folks around Lake Delton don't have to worry about shore errosion anymore huh? Way to find the silver lining Tim!
According to my dock it's a lot more than 7-8" since Spring. This Spring, my dock was *in* the water. Now it sits more than 2' out. I'll measure next time I'm up.
Speaking of Spring (lake), have you been by the lilly pads over by Roddy's? I've never seen it that dry!
I never did see the Lake District do the repairs on the Dam this summer, hope we don't wake up some morning and find it like Lake Delton… ;-)
Yeah, actually I was talking 7-8" (at least) down from the over-flow at theDam, the lake is almost always 4-5" high in the spring. 4-5" plus 7-8" = 11-13" difference from spring to the low point in summer. That's why it would nice to have a few people track the level based on the common bench mark of the over-flow concrete at the Dam (as in the charts above).
Another positive point - many people now have great high-diving platforms as piers, just make sure you don't dive straight down ;-)
I noticed that too, a lot of stumps and mud showing along Old SouthBranch on Spring Lake… At the end of the short channel by Roddy's there used to be a small creek flowing in to the lake with a 5-6' tall beaver Dam at the end, it's also dried-up.
Hope for a lot of snow this Winter!
Speaking of SNOW.. Sorry, this is out of page context, but, does anyone have information on the snowmobile stuff mentioned in the last Smoke Signals? I can't find my copy and it'd be awesome to get a decent, groomed path from the lake to the Shawano county trails!
Are you talking about the trail at the bottom of this page: Other POA Info.
The new shallows across from us have been great for bird watching! Lots of herons, nesting loon in the spring, eagles. I've never seen that Dam 5-6' tall beaver your talking about though…
Skimmer,
Yeah, there's talk of getting the trail along HH groomed. That'd be the cats pajamas!
Hey Guys,
Anyone know the water temp? I'm excited to get out on the lake ice fishing after deer hunting!
