Just heard from a friend that the Indian Lake chain is at the lowest water levels he has ever seen...Are others reporting similar water levels around NW Ontario? LOW? Lac Suel? Eagle? Northern MN and the Arrowhead/Boundary waters? Thank you for your inputs.

Lots of good info here. Lotw is low but probably only 6-10 inches lowers than average for this time of the year based on the graphs. I'll see it in person one week from today

As noted above LWCB controls water level in LOTW so it does not experience the wild fluctuations seen downstream. So not necessarily comparable to other bodies.

Story there Mr. Pearson?

I almost found my pet rock this year...

I found the water level on Lake of the woods to be only slightly lower than last year... maybe 6 inches.
