    I just drove by the Boomsite DNR Launch north of Stillwater and they have the gates closed and barriers up. Looks like you could have trouble getting a boat in the water north of Stillwater until the water goes down. I was hoping to get out next week when we get that next spell of nice weather. The river gage at the Stillwater Lift Bridge is showing 40 degree water temp.

    Yikes. I might drive down there tonight to view this calamity first hand. Call it morbid curiosity.

    The water is up to the walkway bridge that goes out to the pier in Hudson , I can say I have never seen that before.

    I took a walk down there at lunch today. It looked like the water had actually crossed the road at some point. This is the highest I have ever seen it there as well.

    The marina entrance is just about flooded. Boat launch dock is up to the road. I’ve seen it higher once for sure. Back when I helped sand bag the marina to save the building.

    water looked like it was receding a bit out of the parking lot at Lakefront Park in Hudson this morning. I think it crested last night?

    Didn’t Hudson spend 1 million on a sea wall in Lakefront Park? Looks like they should have spent 2 and made it taller.

    Looks like a lot of boats at the docks @ Hudson. Was
    No Cash No Splash suspended this year due to high water?
    Bayport Marinas refroze over weekend and have opened up again. Anyone seen eagles working last ice in great ####s?
