The terms of the FERC license provide for a 15-foot reservoir drawdown in the winter to allow for the capture and storage of snow melt and spring rains. The license also provides for a summer drawdown of 5 feet to make room for the heavier rain that is typically received in October and November. The headwater elevation experienced on September 30 was just over 4 feet down. In a typical year (one that is not so wet), we would’ve been 5 feet down at the end of September.<br /><br />If you want to recreate on Michigamme Reservoir at full pool, the best time to do so is May and June.<br />We Energieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625205414638899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716067542179081903.post-16449043308124391562017-09-30T19:22:54.236-05:002017-09-30T19:22:54.236-05:00We went to site 20 to launch our boat and noticed ...We went to site 20 to launch our boat and noticed the water levels were significantly lower. I assume the dams have been opened more. Is there a time of the year that you keep the water levels higher?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RickiRicki Steigerwaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900555923477199222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716067542179081903.post-7092967586470731452017-04-19T11:54:04.558-05:002017-04-19T11:54:04.558-05:00Most roads leading into our recreation sites go th...Most roads leading into our recreation sites go through state property, and we don’t maintain those. However, we do minor repairs on roads that are on our property. We have not yet visited this particular site this year, so we can’t speak to its condition, but we will be out there within the next couple of weeks to take a look.
