When the water level is on "High Water" status, all watercraft must travel at no-wake speeds (5 miles per hour (MPH) or less). When the status is "Normal" watercraft traffic may resume regular activity.
Lake level readings are taken once per week during the open water season. During periods of high water, the lake level is checked more frequently.
