This is my first summer on the Lake! Like the rest of you, I have been watching the Lake level rise this past week to the point where the boats will soon be above the docks planks. The slightest wave is washing over them now - how long does it take for the Lake to go down? Can they release water from the Lake without endangering people/property downstream?

With the Lake as high as it is, Boaters should be cautioned about watching their speed and consequential wakes as it could cause damage to boats tied up. I see a number of boats moving pretty fast within 150' of shore in Moultonborough Bay area.
