Shocking Observations from Lake Koshkonong - Rock River


Brian, we just got in from a Memorial Day boat ride that included  the river from Newville to Indian Ford dam, what we found may be of shocking news to some people. The water level was at 776.97' .

   Observations:
1. water level at our seawall on Ellendale Rd. was 26" below top of seawall

2. All Lowland areas, including Green's Run, Hurd Farms, Saunders Creek area were all within the river banks

3. We found 3 piers that had collapsed and have been unusable for years (no decking and twisted beyond repair) that were partially under water

4. We didn't even see any boats throwing 3' wakes washing out all the homes along the river
