Location: oswego, il | I read last year the pike river flowage which dumps directly into pike bay was just the river channel last year. With no current I bet it froze out. Hopefully they get good rainfall to keep what the fast snowmelt left for water levels. |

| The Lake Vermillion Assoc. maintains a live web cam and today the cam shows the water is within inches of the top of the dock in the web cam view. Not sure if that is of any help, but it is the only live cam I could find. They have a lot of info on their web site as well, but nothing about water levels. |

Location: MN | Very high. Lots of docks floating around on walleye opener. I heard the wakemup campground boat access parking area is mostly under water.
Went from a drought last year to intense flooding this year.
LOTW is super high as well. Some resorts are sand bagging to keep water out of cabins. Basically everything in the north and northeast part of the state is super high or flooding. I believe most of voyagers National park is closed due to water levels. |

Location: Mallard Island Lake Vermilion MN | Hello! Drop in after long timme away n saw this.
Have yet to get to my lil island but water is dropping SLOWLY.
Can not park rig until drops a few more inches. Every dock different n all that.
Years ago being younger would have just took 16" fishen rig shuttle out n tie to a tree but no good when iron crib under water n back area took bit of damage needs attention but no biggies. Many people dropped docks, rain helped by massive river flow n all pallets split to parts unknow. Unless good bunji or 175lb zip tied.
Lost to be found later. : )
fall by my place had to split early as no water to get rigs on lifts...mid May water was way over docks n many pallets early dropped. Major ice damage also for some depending on wind direction n ice thickness.
Many foundations gone n dock iron bent n dropped down shore.
Tons of pics out there some place.
We be fine but highest I ever saw water. 2008 was high but this was nuts n fun.
Any way..should be good to go by July tenth....depending what yer looken to do.
OK then..be safe, have fun, enjoy it ALl n always Keep on Rocken!

Location: Lafayette, IN | Tommy, it’s good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about the damages you and others are dealing with. Fishcrazed and I were on LOTW last week and it was unreal! Still had a great week in spite of not seeing the shorelines. 32 muskies between 4 guys in 5 1/2 days. Our family is heading to Pearson’s next Friday, the 8th. We saw the pictures from Muskego. Wow, Joe and Jenny had a lot of damage from that same storm that hammered us in Canada! Lots of trees down from what I’ve heard. Of course, they lost the roof on the big boathouse out front. Anywhoo, I hope you have a great summer. Blessings! |

Location: Mallard Island Lake Vermilion MN | Thanks..doing great myself n Bonnie n the Marauder Boyz Max Power n Fred "Tug'r" Bear.
Water dropping better or faster,
Some family's on lake did really get hit with big ice shifts n then the high high water n few resorts also.
Saw lots of ice damage n high water can take as much with it as ice maybe more.
Stinks but Mother Nature is Home Team every time out,,play by her rules...PERIOD!
Never seen it like this but all getting better.
Storm bout ruined Ludlows. KABLAM n done.
Getting good n cleaned up though...be fine.
