We have now reached the full drawdown level of Lake Boon for winter, at 14” below norm. Drawdown began on October 10, and it has now stabilized, with a steady outflow that matches inflow from rain, aquifers and streams. Last week, ice began appearing in the shallower basins. Sharpen your skates. Winter is coming!
For any questions on the drawdown, contact Dan Barstow, Lake Boon Commission, 978-235-3300, DanBarstow@gmail.com

The second board was removed from the dam outfall last week and the lake level continues to drop. It will go down as much as 6 inches further.
Also, this chair has washed up at the Stow Town Beach. Its owner can recover it there.
