Lake Levels 2013

upthesaukee · 05-04-2013, 11:35 AM

5/4/13: Just checked the lake level and it is at 504.25, which is about an inch below full lake. (.083 of a foot equals 1 in, approximately.)

Important info for those who have to go under a bridge like I do to get Upthesaukee Too out of Parker's.

See you on the water.

I noted the waterline coming under the bridge out of Paugus looked like its just about a full lake.

What's the bridge clearance at the Weirs channel and under Governor's bridge at full lake? I'm at home and don't have a chart in front of me to check.

bridge clearance for both bridges Is very high If you have a boat big enough to have to worry about It, then you should be on the ocean

The Weirs bridge is very high, only big sail boats have any issue. On the other hand, the Governors Island bridge is an issue for many fly-bridge cruisers, my medium sized, express style cruiser fit last Saturday with about a foot to spare.

I'll look up the exact numbers tonight.

I'm pretty sure the Weir's bridge is about 21' at full lake level.
