At times, water storages may experience very low inflows. These periods are often accompanied by dry conditions and increased customer demand for water, which can result in fluctuating lake levels.
Community and visitor interest in storage levels typically increases when levels decline due to prolonged dry climatic conditions and customer demand.
In addition to using the interactive maps, GMW recommends that vessel operators refer to general and local waterway‑specific signage located at all public boat ramps.
The imagery used in the maps may not reflect current conditions of the local environment.
The estimated extent of the water does not provide an indication of depth, and all users should be aware of potential hazards above and below the water surface at all water levels.
Vessel zoning information and restrictions are specific to each lake.
