June Water Levels

[ranger617]

I'm looking for information regarding the current water levels of Black Lake. Are we going to be faced with low water levels like last year. Launching boats wasn't fun last year.

[MrSimon]

Most likely. I'm already hearing of people having trouble at the public launch.

Last year was a good year! 2012 and 2010 were bad years. I would love to have a year like last. I'd say the water is about average for now. I have to push my dock out another 20' already!

When we were up last year, the water level was back into the woods, it was so high.

Has the water come up in last 2 weeks?

No, looked to have dropped a few inches. Quite a good storm up there last night. That might slow down the drop.

The water levels came up around 8"-10" or so. My neighbor just called he had to raise his dock a bit. It rained a ton last Friday and Saturday in lewis county where i live, which is where the Indian river starts up in the Adirondacks. So it took a couple days to get down stream. Plus all the rain in Jefferson and st. Lawrence counties that drain into the Indian river. Hopefully the boat launch will be a little bit easier to manage now.
