The water level in Clear Lake is low this year.
Boaters should be aware of the damage that could occur if their boats get hit a shoal.
Tim Sallows, a resource conservation officer with Parks Canada, spoke with us about what boaters should be looking out for when out on the water.
“The shoals that are present in clear lake are not so far underwater than they usually are. We have marked all the shoals that we are aware of. There’s 3 markers on each of the long shoals. There’s 3 longer shoals and a couple of singular shoals. The west end is the shallow end of the lake. If you stay away from the west end as much as you can.”
Water levels have been lower in the past and Sallows says they have photos from 1914 that show 30 feet of beach on Clear Lake.
