Meanwhile we are on page 3 of a huge months-long discussion because of the low water... and the difference isn't even 3 feet yet for us. It's pretty DAM interesting!

Having lived right on Lake Champlain, in South Hero for almost 10 years..... Yes Champlain normally has a significant level change through out the year and or summer.... Because of this docks are floating or on wheels and get adjusted through out the year.....it is not uncommon for the shallow portion of a floating dock, at a boat ramp to spend part of the year high and dry....
It is all in what you are used too.....
Note by the definition used on this forum, Bernie is not an islander, you drive onto the Hero Islands, either via bridge in the north, or via the causeway in the south......
