Michigan seems to be ok...at least down by Chicago. Haven't had any trouble at the launch I've used, and the one that I was wary of this year recently had to move their piers up the ramp because they were under water.

Just wondering where you are in Erie? We're in Pt. Dover and the level is down quite a bit. When we fuel the poor guy can hardly get the fuel nozzle in because we're that low. Poor guy has to lay on his belly to reach the fuel fill.

west end.. its been steady at this high level for a few days now, even with a north wind pushing it away.. so its not due to a surge or just rainfall accumulation. Ive heard levels are highest of the year in Long Point also??

You know any big kids who like to play over where I am? New to boating, all my friends run tug boats lol, have a 272 Baja and nobody to play with. Getting boring going out on our own all the time. Oh yea I don't bite It's safe.

I was in Kingston a couple of days ago, Lake Ont/St Lawrence are up a bit, would LOVE to see a few more feet, but, at least it's not dropping, I heard ships are able to carry more than 1/2 loads too, just a rumour though

A few feet higher?? Lake Ontario is already above its 50 year average water level.. and Erie is sitting right at the average, so Im not sure what people are complaining about where I boat, they must not have come down to the lake in the last few weeks. Huron/Michigan/Superior are still a lot lower though.

Not complaining, just would like to see a few more feet, I am on a bay on the St Lawrence, deeper the water the better, that way when it's drops in the Fall it will still to deep enough to navigate.

Not sure about 50 year average, but, I have a deck now where the high water point was in the Spring 20-30 Years ago.

Thats not the high water mark,,,,,, per the latest Army Corps chart.... Lake St Clair is still below average. Lake St Clair is about 2+ feet below the 1986 high water mark.....
