Mountain Lake is beyond 100% for this time of year. I have a map from the ministry of natural resources dated July 1976 that shows the deepest part of Mountain Lake to be 103 feet, the current map shows the depth to be the same 103 feet. I went on the lake with a sonar and found the deepest part to be 109 feet +, when are we going to get the water levels back to where they should be?
