Most recent DES report for Lakeport:

Winnipesaukee Operations
Saturday, September 6, 7 AM readings

The level of Lake Winnipesaukee is 502.24 (504.32 is full level).
The flow rate is 250 cfs.

That’s 25 inches down from full!

I think that’s a typo on the operations update page - based on the chart data, it should be 502.74 not 502.24 (see image).

If it was 502.24 then that would be a dramatic drop from the recent measurements

Pulled the pontoon and the Jet Ski over the weekend. Water was getting too low for the Jet Ski lift and the bow of the pontoon was starting to get too close to the bottom with only 4" + or - of water. With no rain in the forecast whatsoever for the next 10 days, it only made sense to do it now.

We have room for one boat at our dock so the Eastern will be staying in until we close camp late October / early November.

Short boating season this year thanks to Mother Nature!

Ok so the first time I am not missing the lake, I would have pulled my boat already..... Down here in Texas, Lake Ray Hubbard is full down less the half a foot, do to a unbelievable wet summer..... And at this point, we have survived the hottest part of the year, and now we are entering the enjoyable summer season.... so time for some boating....

I know I know not nice, but I just can't help it...... I miss New England and the lake.... but right now, with the low water not as much......
