Thread: March Shenango Water Levels

Just stay safe, and let us know how you do.

Yea it did rise pretty fast. I think part of the reason, is because the locks are not being opened as much. And we didn't get a lot of rain, so it might not be so bad. Maybe Pymatuming was allowed to release water too, which would make it rise.

Didn’t make it out today. Rain put a damper on my plans. Supposed to get a few good days later this week. I’ll get out then, hopefully.

Well it rose a foot more.
