Folks, I hate to brake this to you, but this is really all pretty normal, and the lake isn't as low as you think......

504.32 -- Full lake
503.32 -- Lake 1' down
502.32 -- lake 2' down

Lake is currently at 502.80

Yes it is usually higher this time of year, but when you have little rain, what do you expect....

If you expect to have a long boating season, you need to make sure you have good water even at the low side of the operating band which is 502.32.... for me with a 40' season dock, I still have room at that point.... not much but still usable.... If you can prove why you need an exception to the 40' season dock rule, DES does have allowances to have a longer dock in certain cases...

With that said if you are in a Marina, you have other headaches....if you have to pull your boat, hold off on winterizing it if you have it on a trailer, it will rain and the lake will come right back up.....
