Rain brings water level up – still not floating…

Sunday night on beautiful Manchaug Pond…

The rains are bringing up the waterlevel, but some areas of the lake are still high and dry. Our Great Pond is accessible from the Public Access Boat Ramp, just be careful going up the channel and through the old causeway as a couple motors hit rock again this weekend.

As for some of us living on the lake… we are still high and pretty dry. A couple households are enjoying their new found beach and you’ll see on the poll they responded that everything is fine. While others are stuck…

My husband is making arrangements for the old 28 footer to go and to replace it with something smaller which he can take out for the winter season and put in when the “tide comes in”! (That’s a quote I heard from a campground owner said during our clean-up event. I love it! So true!) My daughters cried that the old boat – 24 years old and still assessed at $7,000! – is leaving as it has a deck on top which they and guests love to canonball off of when we float out in the middle. The lake is too shallow for that now! The pontoons are wet but we are still not floating. I guess I didn’t exaggerate when I said we depend on the dam owner…
