Water Levels

The water level is of interest during the shorebird migration, July through August and into September. Low levels mean extensive mudflats for good shorebird viewing. The Army Corps of Engineers website will give current levels and a three day prognostication. Shenango is estimated to drop 1/10th of a foot each day for the next 3 days. Or about 8 inches per week!
