Mann Lake and Reservoir A is below normal for mid-October, with the lake level at 1,788.56 ft.

It has dropped 0.63 ft over the past week. With the water still dropping, the shoreline keeps moving out. In the last month it has stayed between 1,788.56 ft and 1,790.83 ft.

Many reservoirs are drawn down through summer and fall; most of the refill comes later, with winter rain or spring snowmelt.

On the water at Mann Lake and Reservoir A

A receding shoreline opens up beaches but also uncovers hazards: stumps, rocks and soft mud that are usually well under water.

Wear a life jacket on the water. Most boating deaths involve people who were not wearing one.
