05/27/2024 10:58PM It was my first time through there. Not sure what normal is for this time of year, but my sense is that levels were very good to excellent for my trip through there. And then it rained a bunch more. |

05/27/2024 02:26PM We just got back from a week on Horseshoe Lake. We stayed at the isolated campsite in the southeast arm of the lake. The Tuesday (and into Wednesday) rain was torrential and raised the level of the water (by six to eight inches) flowing out by way of the Brule River. Water was clearly higher coming out than when we put in. Same for Caribou and Lizz. Small sample size, but my experience. Mike |

05/26/2024 08:21PM Frost River water level update. Traveled the river on Monday 5/20. Lifted over 2 beaver dams. Ran 17 total beaver dams, 3 of which were very small and just a float through. Didn’t need the portage into Octopus. |

05/15/2024 10:32PM just returned from Insula via Lake 1 for fishing opener. Been doing this trip for years, water levels are near normal or a little low but nothing drastic. |

04/21/2024 10:17PMPinetree: "Compared to a normal spring they are lower water guage " Interesting - other than 12 months ago, I don't see a way to view historical data - is there one? And/or long-term averages? |

04/20/2024 06:46PM Hey Steve, Water levels were just a little high last weekend on my trip. And with the several bouts of soaking rain recently along the border I’ll venture to guess that the water is about as high as it will get for the near future. You gotta go! Tom |

04/20/2024 02:03PM Anyone have thoughts on the water levels? I am considering a trip next week that might include some river travel - among the possibles, I am considering ones that might get bony in a typical late-summer dry spell. |
