Note:
Parks Canada takes a reading of lake levels every Monday (or the first Work Day of the week) and posts the data on their web site.
You now have two options.
1) you can either see a graph of the 'Year to Date' Water Levels (up to last Monday), or
2) you can see a forecast for what the water level should be for the next two weeks.
1) To see Koshlong 'Year to Date' Water Level Graph, do the following:
First click on the link (Go to the Parks Canada Web Site) at the bottom of this section
Then click on the Burnt River section. (a map of the region is shown)
Click on the 'red dot' near the outline of Koshlong Lake. (The word Koshlong will pop-up to show that you have the correct lake.)
Click on the 'I accept' button at the bottom of the 'Disclaimer' screen,
Now you will see the graph of the water levels for this calendar year (up to the previous Monday).
The normal LOW water level (during the Winter) is usually about 1.2 metres (39")
The normal HIGH water level (during the Spring) is usually about 2.3 metres (90")
2) To see Koshlong 'Forecasted' Water Level Table, do the following:
First click on the link (Go to the CEWF Web Site) at the bottom of this page
Then look for the heading that reads 'Lake Level Forecast'
Click on the link in that section. (The link starts with http://cewf.typepad.com)
You will then see a table of water level forecasts
Koshlong is listed in the grouping under the heading Burnt River Watershed
The water levels in the Start Date columns are true values, taken on the first working day of the week.
The water levels in the 'End Date' and 'Target Differential' columns are estimates.
'Water Level' (in metres) is measured above the sill plate (ie. the cement base where the logs sit).
'Full Level' is the water level above the dam sill plate, when all logs are in place.
'Inches Down' is measured from the 'Full Level'.
[ 2.29 metres is 7.51 feet or 90.16 inches ]
