Water Level -- Labor Day, 2011

The date is actually August 26, 2011, but I won't be here for Labor Day to take a measure of the Leech Lake water levels. I typically like to take measurements on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day and then again as close to Halloween as I can.

As of today, the water is covering three (3) cement pilings at the boat ramp at the cabin. That is down from a high of seven (7) earlier this year. I suppose the Army Corps of Engineers has already started the Fall "draw down" of water in anticipation of the northern Minnesota winter snow fall.

When I return in the Fall I will report again on Leech Lake water levels.
