Lake Levels Drop Dramatically

Our lake level is now lower than it was at this point last year.  Check out the photos we took today of the lake bed.  We've had an incredibly dry summer, it's hard to believe we actually had boating this past July!

Kevin Lang from Mars PA:  “It had just rained and we were on our way back from a hike around the lake.  This shot is one of my favorites, as it captures the lush green foliage and the inviting peacefulness of Mountain Lake.” -Lang
