Water Level

[Sweet Caroline]

Thought I heard water levels were going to be raised 2nd week of Oct to allow boats to be pulled. Anybody know if there is any truth to that?

Water levels where?

Lake Ontario water level

The International Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Board plans to temporarily reduce outflows from Lake Ontario to increase water levels on Lake St. Lawrence the second weekend of October. These efforts will provide marinas and shoreline dock owners an opportunity at the end of the season to remove recreational boats more easily.

Really? And just how much is a temporary reduction in outflows going to raise water levels? Enough to get boats out of the mud that they've been sitting in for the past month? I must be a dummy, because the math doesn't add up.

Approximately .37 Meters

That's not insubstantial, and more than I expected. I do hope that it's enough. Better than nothing - and it does show that there's at least recognition of the issue.

It's just lake st Lawrence which is relatively small and can be raised or lowered quickly effects on lake o will minimal

I just saw this, no impact on the rest of the lake

So, they're raising water so that folks who keep their boat in Lake St Lawrence can get them out? That isn't too helpful for all the rest of the sports up North. Can I walk back my walk back lol? Just call me Joe...
