Lake Champlain United - Forums

Champlain is at 96.58' today
June 1, 2019 Lake Level was 99.9', 3.5' higher
We need some serious rain

there is a really interesting Lake Champlain level graph that the weather service has on their website... tracking current lake level and historic records... lake level right now is a little below average (97.5' for today) but 2019 was unusually high. If I remember correctly, even though 2019 didn't hit the highest-ever lake level, it set a record for longest time the lake was above flood level, and was a few feet above normal in May and June.

We could use more
Water in the lake but I wish Burlington would
Leave the finless browns out of the flow...

Now isn't that the truth. Took the kid to Oakledge and the plume was evident, we stayed upland

I noticed the swamps of East Slang looked a little low last weekend and the vegetation was taking over.

There was snow in the mountains last year.
Wasnt that much this year. Makes a big difference.
Water temps will jump up soon.

My first time launching at Van Tines today in 10 years. Plenty of water.

Wish that launch they'd put in a floating dock, it's a hard one to deal with going solo with prevailing winds pushing the hull right back up on the concrete...ugh!

Same with Georgia access.. All rocks!

Yes indeed, and with westerly prevailing winds at both Vantine's & Van Everest you'd think they'd understand this is important enough to put docks in.
