Reflections On The Lake

"The biggest challenge on the lake is that those old dirt roads weren’t designed with drainage in mind. When I first started this job in the 1970’s most of the camps were on stilts or on cement blocks. The water would run off of the road and just go right under the camps. People get upset about the runoff hitting their foundations but the water is going where it has always gone."

Lake Drawdown At Normal Level Print E-mail

After a number of concerned PLIA members expressed concern that the lake was being drawn down to unusually low levels this year, Tom Duffy boated over to the dam to have a look. As these photos show, the lake has been drawn down to the same level as previous years.

The same number of boards were pulled this year as prior years according to Tom. He attributes the calls to the fact that without the usual ice and snow on the lake this year, the lake "looks" lower than normal.
