I am in a bay in the 1000 Islands, St Lawrence River is SCARY low! Lowest I have seen in my lifetime [40years] I had some dredging done a few years ago, and will probably have to do some more, just hope the "rest" of the bay stays deep enough to get out into the river, I am hearing reports of ships running aground ALL the time, and the car ferry that travels between Kingston and the Island we are on has BARELY enough water to run in, I hate to think what the water levels will be like if we get no snow again 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!!??

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!

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.

I will agree, the water level in the NE has been bad the second half of '12, but let us not forget that in the spring of 2011 they had many local lakes and canals closed because the water level was too HIGH!
The SE and middle the of the country is a different story, some of you are approaching a decade of drought....which makes us in the NE complaining about the second half of our '12 season seem petty
