Kansas & Oklahoma Lake Level Updates 5-17

 

 Game wardens across green country give their weekly lake level updates after recent rainfall in the area.

 Oologah Lake is at its normal elevation with water stabilizing. Birch Lake is 0.88 feet below normal, but the water is rising. Copan Lake is 4.5 feet below normal, and water levels are falling.

 Hulah Lake is 5.05 below normal but water levels are stabilized. Skiatook Lake is the lowest of the lakes in the Osage, Nowata and Washington county area being 6 feet below normal, but water levels are rising.

 Lakes in Kansas are still feeling the effects of drought like conditions in the area. Wilson Lake is down 21 inches compared to normal, and with the unofficial start of the summer season beginning at the end of the month, Wilson Lake Army Corps of Engineers Park Manager Nolan Fisher says the recent rain has not brought up the lake levels. Fisher says it will take quite a bit of rain upstream to make ponds and streams overflow into the lake, however, he doesn't see any problems for Memorial Day boating.

 Kanopolis Lake is 1.6 feet below normal, although the level has gone up 2.8 inches, because of recent rainfall.
