Re: Water Level
Photos from Aug 2010, and Aug 2005 at Siskiwit Lake spill. Also, a lakeshore view of Aug 2010.
Of course, in the first two, you can see they are from opposing views, but, you get the idea.
Has anyone noticed/viewed the water level at this site this season? Report to share?

"And standing on the the crest of the Greenstone Ridge, I suddenly had this desire to retreat north to where I just come, to stay in the backcountry, to spend another day in a place where the only deadline I had was to pitch the tent before dark."

Re: Water Level
How phenomenal is it?, the water level really passed over the fence.It was considered as one of the longest hydrometeorological in North America.

Re: Water Level
It is what it is, unfortunately. We just have to live with it.
At many places around the lake, a few inches doesn't matter much. At Isle Royale it can ruin a trip and cost thousands in damage below the waterline.
