Here is the link to the water level forecasts from August 12 - August 26/13. You'll see that the forecast drop for Loon Lake is four inches more until the end of the period:

Also available are the results of the equalization between the different lakes in the system. The degree of control of water levels by the Trent Severn Waterway is simply remarkable!

Here is another link that shows a graphical representation of the Loon Lake water level over the year:

If you look carefully in the month of April 2013, you'll see the dramatic spike created when the Gregory Lane breached on April 19.

The vertical axis on this graph represents the depth of water over the sill of the dam. The auto recording sensor is located on the dam.
