We’re heading into the May long weekend, and in light of the lake’s level approaching full pool, boaters as be warned to follow some safety measures.
Boaters should watch for floating debris as a significant amount has flowed downstream into the lake.
Okanagan Lake currently sits at 342.42 metres and normal high-water level is 342.48. This is expected to rise to 2017 levels.
As lake levels rise, low-wake activities are encouraged during high water levels to minimize the erosion of vulnerable shoreline and the damage to property.
Tips for boaters:
For waterfront residents, all measures taken last year should be put in place again, including securing their docks and making sure boat anchor lines are long enough so they don’t snap if water continues to rise.
