The Shuswap Lake is the center point of a large stream and lake network. Approximately 526 streams and lakes, covering a runoff area of about 25,000 square km, contribute their water into the Shuswap Lake. According to statistics, the lake level rose 5 1/2 inches during the past 24 hours. It is expected to surpass the last record level of 1972.
We walk to the wharf every day to check on the rising lake level and the osprey nest. The breakwater is completely submerged and has been replaced with a series of floating logs to alert boaters of the cement structure below the surface.
Normally, boaters would walk "down" this ramp to the dock and onto their boats!
