Notes

No rain in past 24 hours but some coming shortly by the look of the sky now. Choppy water. Summer dock not in yet so took readings from end of the pier instead.

Location description
Boat launch area with long dock and parking facilities, walking trails, benches. Lake levels are highest since 1918 and much of the trails are under water but the dock is still above the water line.
