Lake level update
The lake has risen about 5" in the last month. The culvert at CR 669 on the east end was plugged by the beavers. The County Road Commission cleared it. We then had around 3" of rain. We are checking Shalda Creek to insure those pesky beavers are not at it again.

Log in Water
There is a large birch log with one end buried in the bottom on the east end of the lake near Stein's. The top is about 1 foot above the water. It is out far enough offshore that a boat, tuber or skier could run into it. Be cautious!
Missing
Hopefully not lost - Saturday's winds washed a concrete slab with a "prized" wooden fisherman, sitting position into water. Slab sank. Fisherman not found. It was crafted by my Dad, redone painted before he died 1985. Not a artistic winner but to me priceless. Crossing my fingers will be found. If found contact Bob and Audrey Kraemer at bakraemer@yahoo.com

Lake Level Update
The snow is gone and the ice in the lake is starting to break up. We continue to monitor the lake level. Lou Gurthet has been taking measurements through the winter. Our thanks to him! The lake level at the east end of the culvert at TLR is 94.55. Last year at this time the level was 94.59. Almost exactly the same.
Jeff Shutz kayaked the stream and found that there are no beaver dams between TLR and CR-669. He found one small dam well downstream from CR-669 which does not appear to be impacting the water level. Thanks also go out to Jeff!
No beaver dam action is needed at this time. We will continue to monitor the lake level and communicate our findings to the NPS.
Happy Spring!
