Thumbs up Finally, A "Normal" Lake Level...

Those of us who stay after the season may see a "bathtub ring" of leached contaminants on boulders around the lake. (Which is added to the usual contaminants added by fossil fuels, outboard and I/O gearcase greases, sunken boats, cranes lost overboard from barges, and suntan oils).

A photograph of previous "bathtub rings" corresponding to spring (and summer) contaminants was added to the forum in 2006:

Keeping the lake overfull surely has consequences.

"Greater" Winter Harbor has become too rough with wakes to support rafting.

What are we swimming in, anyway?
