Another question: how do people store their Jet Skis? Both wintertime and what your dock looks like in season. We are unsure if we want to get those in the future, and I'm wondering how easy it would be to get a jet ski lift/dock added onto a current dock.

In early June the lake is usually at "full lake". By the end of September I would say on average the lake is 15"-18" below the full lake level. By November even slightly lower and could be 24" lower like it was this past fall. Here's a water level graph to show what it typically does.... http://www.bizer.com/bztnews.htm

Jet Ski's are usually garage stored or at a local marina or dealer. For example I have and have had jet ski's and for a nominal fee HK Powersports winterizes and stores my jet ski. If you have a dock already, it should be no issue putting a jet ski lift along side of it...

Hope this helps...
