Talked with the marina owner the other day, our snow pack is still 165% of normal and it was snowing when we were talking,,, looks like the lake could be 4 ft over the normal level come June if the pack melts too fast!! The Clark Fork River drains into the lake and is a big river, comes out of Montana way up past Missoula, a large drainage...
It could be up into the parking lot and almost knee deep there if it gets bad. Apparently the docks would be ok, but the walkway to the marina may have to be pulled off, the power box to his office/store taken out, the sewer in town would quit working. We could take the kayak to the boat and go sailing, but would have to watch for lots of debris in the water.
So now I'm hoping it stays cool! Rain is forecast all weekend, with a high of 70 on Tuesday! We've talked of pulling the boat out just in case but will watch for now an see how it goes.
All the smaller lakes and creeks are high as the warm weather approaches finally, could be messy for lots of folks in the next few weeks!
But I'm goiling sailing today and hope to get my new main this weekend also!
