Harbor Update

2 weeks ago, we were required to make additional changes to our design per request of DNR. We contacted our engineer, made the corrections and uploaded the revised design and documentation to MPAR for review and approval by DNR.

Spoke to Brent, DNR, last Thursday and he was going to review the changes. As of today, we have no further information. 

Hoping today, each day, we are notified of the results.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Water levels are now below the Ordinary High-Water Mark

We continue to receive updates from the Lake of the Woods notice board. We are continuing to remove the protective berm we built to keep the high water out of our resort.  We have been able to regain campsite #5 for the remainder of the fall season.  We have done a lot of removal of debris, replanted grass seed and scraped off the layer of silt left on the campsite pad’s that have been underwater since May.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clean – Clean – Clean

Our Dear Kala has been cleaning to beat the band over the last couple weeks. Kala cleans our sleepers after each stay and these last 2 weeks she has also deep cleaned our 4 – 10 x 14 Day house and our scouting 8×12 Day house.

Kala is amazing, she works 2 other jobs and has her own massage business, WOW is she something else. Real blessed to have her with us, that’s for sure.

Terry and Jan, who volunteer here in the summer, pitched in with cleaning duties before they headed back home to Wisconsin.

Jan and I washed windows, Terry got the small pressure washer out and cleaned the fish cleaning building as well as the men’s and women’s bathroom/shower building.

Painting

 Painting is down to a little touch up and we can call it good!

Thank you to Lindi, Terry, and Kala who helped me paint all our Sleeper bathroom’s and all our Sleeper generator boxes.

All that is left is for me to get all the garbage cans fastened down, totes filled with supplies (T.P.)! and reflective tape on all corners!!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In between all this we still have our camping going on!  We have campsites open until the end of October and we can even be available for Deer Hunting in November!

Come spend some clear, calm, fall days with us, leaves are

changing colors!

Lake of the Woods Secretariat –

Notice Board Updates

2022.09.15 Level Forecast

Sep 15, 2022 02:18 pmAfter two weeks of very dry weather, the next few days will be much wetter for most parts of the Winnipeg River basin with a low-pressure system slowly tracking through Northwestern Ontario. Over the next few days, precipitation totals are expected to reach at least 50 mm for the majority of the basin, with some locally higher amounts of rainfall possible. This precipitation will cause tributary flows to increase temporarily and will add inflow to the major lakes.

The current level of Lake of the Woods is 323.20 m (1060.4 ft), 90th percentile level for this time of year. The average lake level declined by 16 cm (5 in) over the past week. The forecasted precipitation will not stop the lake level decline, but will simply slow the rate of decline to 4 to 11 cm (1 to 4 in) over the next week. The scheduled Lake of the Woods outflow decrease to 1000 m3/s has been postponed to Monday, September 19th.

Over the next few days, Winnipeg River levels may remain stable with local inflow increases caused by the precipitation. However, by Monday with the outflow reduction from Lake of the Woods, the levels along the Winnipeg River are expected to decline by 18 cm (7 in) below the Norman Dam, by 14 cm (5 in) above the Dalles and by 11 cm (4 in) at Minaki with this outflow reduction.

The current level of Lac Seul is 356.36 m (1169.1 ft), a 40th percentile level for this time of year. The lake level declined by 4 cm (1 in) over the past week and with the forecasted precipitation is expected to remain stable or increase by up to 5 cm (2 in) over the next week. Lac Seul authorized outflow is 300 m³/s with no changes scheduled.

An additional Public Information Session has been added to the schedule for next week. On Wednesday, September 21st a session will be held in Morson, ON from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at the Morson Community Hall.
