Thread: Too Much Water To Go Boating

  1. #1

    This is getting rediculous. Lakes are too high to get out on them. I'm sure it would be a welcome issue in other parts of the country but I'm getting tired of it.
    We have no shortage of places to go boating generally. We have had nearly 30 inches of rainfall this year.
    Here in "Green Country" the lakes are surrounded by wooded areas. When the water level goes way up the water goes out into the woods and drags everything lying around on the ground back into the lake. Would be different if it was rocks and desert around the lake.
    The daily lake level report for today:
    Broken Bow Lake is 3.8 feet ABOVE normal and rising.
    The average discharge will be 2800 cubic feet per second
    through the turbines from: 12:00 PM to 12:00 Midnight.
    Flood control pool utilization is 14%.
    Copan Lake is 7.7 feet ABOVE normal and steady.
    The average discharge will be 1475 cubic feet per second.
    Flood control pool utilization is 24.6%.
    Eufaula Lake is 5.4 feet ABOVE normal and rising.
    The average discharge will be 22000 cubic feet per second
