Have you noticed the lake level slowly dropping. It is down about 3 inches at the present. The required minimum flow is 100cfs, which has been the case since the week of the 9th. The inflow into the lake is now less then that. So the level is bound to recede until we get some decent rain.

LAKE LYNN HYDRO STATEMENT: “Due to decreasing inflows and low precipitation Cheat lake elevation is expected to continue decreasing below summer pool. Please consider removing any boats that may be effected.”
