They can lower the lake very quickly if they had too. The problem is handling the out flow from Winnipesaukee. I have looked this morning and they have opened the dam to around 1350 cfs. The lake should start to react to this out flow, unless we get another deluge of rain.

Unfortunately most docks, where not build, with the ability to deal with water higher then full lake. a big oops in my estimation. With the lake at is current height the water is right at the bottom of my dock. Floor boards must be secured at this point, for the waves will lift them.

The lake level now is at the point, where I will put wieght on the dock this coming weekend.
