Water levels here on Saginaw Bay/Lake Huron are now at record lows. Was working the other day on Sand Point near Caseville MI, at the end of the point there was over a mile of lake bottom exposed out from the normal waters edge. Took a pic but didn't download to the laptop yet. Praying for some heavy snows in the north this year.

My neighbour has less than a foot of water in her boathouse and it used to be over my head :-[

Must be the bottling plants taking all the water, Geez, EVERYWHERE else I see on TV is being hit with flooding!!??

You must be on wolfe island. We are right accross the way in cape vincent. 2 weeks ago there was 8" at the end of our dock, its usually 4-5 feet! We better get some snow real quick or we are all done for next year! My brother in law had trouble getting his boat on at the ramp in october and its gone way down since then!

YEP!! We are on the South shore of Wolfe Island, straight across from Millens Bay, near the East end of Carlton Island, there is a big red channel marker at the mouth of our Bay (Murry Bay)

Water is CRAZY low! I may do some more dredging, but, it's pointless to dredge in front of my place if the water is too shallow elsewhere to get out to the river. Sure hope we get snow, rain does nothing, we need snow, and LOTS of it!

Cape Vincent is awesome, used to go to Captain Jacks years ago, now we take the ferry at Hornes point and go to the Antique Museum in Clayton, and always go to the French Festival at the Cape, good hearing from ya! Neighbour!

crazy low...
 
That's what's good about the ocean. It might rot my motor until it looks like a crack heads teeth......but at least the water levels are consistent.....some of the time.:lolhit:

Too bad most of the snow in the GL region is lake effect, formed by the evaporation of water from the lakes....not sure how that is going to help :lolhit:
