Low lake level?

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 http://bizer.com/bztnews.htm#lakelevel

As other have said lake is normal for this time of year.... All we need is a few days of rain, and the lake will stop going down and rise up a bit again.

I think the problem many people have this time of year, is that each time they come up to the lake it is noticeably down.... Its normal lake level always falls in July and August, and sometimes into Sept. Once we get to cooler weather, and have a few rain storms the lake comes back a bit....

I'm hearing flood warnings on the radio/TV
