Kingston – Cataraqui Conservation and other regional Water Managers have begun seasonal water level adjustments on managed lakes within the Cataraqui Region.

Every fall, following the summer recreation season, water levels on managed lakes (a lake with a water control structure such as a dam) are drawn down by Cataraqui Conservation and local water management staff to create more capacity for fall rains, runoff from spring snow melt and rainfall. It’s also done to stabilize water levels prior to winter freeze-up to promote a stable ice surface throughout the winter
