water levels

Water levels are dropping in our favorite ponds, leaving local wildlife in a tough spot. The spring winds are really taking their toll this year.

A rainy May has been followed by a rainy June and water levels on lakes, rivers and streams are high in Central Minnesota. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON. He says the rain has dirtied the water a bit which is good.

There is grass growing where the water level should be. Where there should be rolling rapids, there is water that looks almost stagnant.

With the three-day holiday weekend ahead, many people will be spending time out on the lake, and the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind you to be mindful of high water.
