We are a group of concerned residents (full time and seasonal) with an enduring interest in Sharbot Lake, the lake area we inhabit. Our goal is to ensure that the area continues to be as beautiful and unspoiled as possible. Eastern Ontario is one of the most picturesque and beautiful areas in Ontario; a vacation paradise. We want to keep it beautiful for generations to come.

Think lake levels are really low? You're right.
The current lake level is 191.55 metres above sea level (MASL). The historical average for this date is 191.67 MASL so we are 12 cm below the average. Unfortunately, much of the historical data from Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority is corrupted but it appears that the lowest the lake has ever been is 191.50 MASL, or just 5 cm below what it is now.
In spring, the clearance under the Road 38 bridge was as little as 1.26m (about 49"). Today the clearance is 1.85m or about 73".
Sharbot is an uncontrolled lake with no dams controlling the water level. Water is constantly flowing eastward into Elbow Lake and then into the Fall River. In the past month there has only been 13.4mm of rain.
Practicing Clean, Drain & Dry won't help with Eurasian Watermilfoil but it can slow down the the next invasive aquatic species from infesting Sharbot Lake. The law requires it, common sense demands it.
