I think there's more back story to this picture than the lake is low.

There has to be something else going on here. For that boat to be high and dry the owner must have been away for a long time. There would have to be something serious like an illness to not remember to pull the boat out of shallow water.

Here's the DES water levels for the past few months:
10/21 502.25
9/21 502.75
8/21 503.30
7/21 503.80

And what we all have to remember is that a serious event may have very well happened... So Don't judge...

Thought I would post a picture of our shoreline. The stairs are normally covered up to the 3rd level from the bottom. Lowest lake level I can remember in 60 years. I do have family pictures of this area, with a similar level back in the early 1900s, but that was way before my time.

The lake has been hovering at 502.30 give or take an inch for a while. You can see the hourly levels by clicking on the lake levels links from http://www.rattlesnakecam.com/watch.htm.

You can also go to Bizer's site at http://www.Bizer.com
and see the weekly levels and a super chart of the levels over the last several years. He typically updates this on Thursday's with extra updates when something unusual happens. I have a picture of my dock in 2001 about this time of year and the lake was lower than it is today.

Seems that this would be an ideal time to fix those things that are normally below the water - stairs, walls, and in certain cases previously pictured, moorings.

We have friends who froze their tails off this spring getting in the water and doing work on their dock, stabilizing the dock with a farmer's jack, replacing dock posts, etc. . Now they would be able to walk almost all the way around the dock without getting wet. They did need to do the work on their dock, but oh how easy it would have been now, rather than in the spring.

Winnisquam has been drawn down lower and longer than expected, but looks like it's on the rise the past few days. The dogs have really liked having beach to run on, but after a few weekends of sand in the house I'm ready to have the water back to the rocks.

The rain today finally got some seasonal streams running, which had remained dry in the past few heavy downpours. Perhaps the ground is finally starting to recharge and runoff to the lake will increase.
