Observations

  • 1 November 2021

    Loch Leven at Ben Voirlick Drive by Nancy Dobson

    There is ice on the lake, so we couldn’t go out in the canoe. We broke through the ice at a dock and did the few tests…no Secchi. The water is super clear, no problem seeing the bottom, likely about three feet where we were. About 2” of snow last week.

    Big Shell Lake, east shoreline of Echo Bay by dianna sutton

  • 31 October 2021

    Across from boat launch by Jocelyn Rivea

    No power in conductivity meter -- will return to do this test with new batteries and possibly also do the Secchi test. More beach area with 4-5 feet of "new" shoreline than during summer. Rubber boots weren't high enough to reach usual testing spot and filled with water during the pH test so stuck closer to shore than usual.

    Had to do a couple of days early due to not being onsite during the weekend.

    Kipabiskau Lake - 600m southeast of Kipabiskau Regional Park by AL BRADSHAW

    Water level is down at least 24 inches with minimal rain all season. Water is clear with weed growth fallen to the bottom and obviously dying off. Leaves all off. Beautiful fall day.

    Pike Lake Baseline Site by Pike Lake Cottage & Watershed Association

    Water Level 481.172 30.23 inches low from full supply

  • 11 October 2021

    Quill Lake West Shore by Sarah Morhart

    It was very windy while testing. The wind speed was around 50 km/h, so the water was very cloudy. The water level is quite a bit lower than when I last observed it. There are lots of mud cracks present where the water used to be. There’s also quite a bit of white evaporate where the water used to be. The mud cracks and white evaporate are shown in the pictures attached.

  • 8 October 2021

    Wascana Marina by Erin Ennis

    Lots of algal blooms near the dock, potentially Cyanobacteria

  • 7 October 2021

    North end of Binkley Bay by Carola Giudicelli

    I had to change the sample location on Cree Lake due to rough water, constant wind makes it hard to travel on the lake.

  • 3 October 2021

    Kopps Kove by Shannon Armstrong

    Water is very clear. Boats and docks are all off the beach. Lots of minnows seen.
