The lake's level is only 1/4 inch below normal for August 25th. The state does not regulate the lake's level, Mother Nature does. The state tries to smooth out the peaks & valleys as best they can. Unless there's a major rain storm, the lake's level usually goes down from here to February when the spring thaw raises the level. For a 15 year history, see
