Water level

Secondary school McMath is here and they brought some pretty nice weather with them from Richmond. It is sunny and warm. This weekend the first hummingbirds were spotted on the property. Hopefully this means that we will not get any frost anymore.
The water level of the Upper Campbell Lake keeps on dropping. That is a bit of a worry. Paddling from Upper Campbell Lake to Buttle Lake through the narrows is impossible. The narrows transformed into a rapid and it is running pretty fast. This week a few instructors will go down there to try to run the rapid.
The water level is so low because it is not raining enough. Despite the lack of rain BC Hydro continues releasing a lot of water at the different dams between the Upper Campbell Lake and the Campbell River.
We all hope that the weather will stay warm and the snow in the mountains will melt fast so that lakes will fill up again. BC Hydro is going to cut down on the releasing as well between now and the end of April.
The water supply for the lodge is not in danger yet. The pump is still deep down in the lake although the boys attached to the pump start showing.
