Mid may rain showers and warm temperatures will likely contribute to a further rise in the already high lake level. Since the ice melted without major shifting, most of the shoreline was unaffected this year and there is a noticeable reduction in the amount of debris floating in the lake this year. Having said that, there are certainly some hazards out there that could cause some serious damage to a boat. A grass-laden dock, moving with the wind during the past week, was spotted today in the middle of the west end of the big lake along with several logs of varied sizes. Boats are having no problem getting through the channel between the two lakes and the boat launch at Access #7 seems suitable for any boat or trailer.
