Lake Levels: What does it mean to me

According to the Lake of the Woods Water Control Board, today, May 23, 2022

The current level of Lake of the Woods is 323.76 m (1062.2 ft), over 95th percentile level for this time of year. The average lake level rose by 16 cm (6 in) over past week.

All very interesting but what does that mean to me and our cottage?According to the Lake of the Woods Water Control Board, today, May 13, 2022

Well, at this level the water is +19″ over the swim platform

And -2″ below the main dock at the far end, right hand side.

It also means we’re trying to prevent the dock top from ripping off and floating away with some garbage cans full of water to weight it down.
