    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    $2 million out of pocket One aspect of Plan 2014 that greatly angered shoreline property owners is that none of the other interest groups were expected to suffer financially under the new regulations.

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    Interesting article popped up this morning, it presents both sides of the argument about the current lake level plan.

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    The chance of any change will depend on the US board members persuading President Trump to pull the US out of the plan. If it were to happen, it is not clear if we would go back to the previous plan until both sides can hammer it out. Frank Sciremammano (U.S,) is currently the only voice on...

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    Good morning I used the data prior to last night's weather disturbance, which dropped the lake around us by 2-3 inches. Scott seems your are correct in that the lake level hasn't really changed over the last two weeks, it should have gone down not up slightly. The IJC forecasted the level...

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    Took a walk out to the pier last night and down to the waters edge. Yesterdays wave action has taken more of the berm away. Best guestimate is about 6' lost so far since last weekend. As you can see with the gentle roll of the waves, the lake is not far from being level with the pier
