This is an early reminder that on October 15 we will begin to lower the lake to winter level. How fast the water level drops depends on the weather. We suggest you plan to complete any shoreline projects this fall as it is often difficult to control the rising water level in the spring due to rain and snowmelt. For newbies around the lake, the winter water level is approximately 52″ lower than the average summer level and we usually begin to bring the water back up to summer level shortly after ice-out in the spring.

As of 7:00 AM this morning, the water level had dropped about an inch below the secondary spillway. The launch gate is now unchained, the no-wake restriction is lifted, and you may resume and enjoy normal boating activity. Thanks for everyone’s cooperation during the flood event.
Due to the severe flooding conditions on Kinderhook Lake, the KLC Board of Directors has declared the entire lake to be a NO WAKE LAKE until the water level recedes to normal summer level. Wake activity during flooding can cause severe damage to docks, docked boats, shorelines, and properties. Please operate your boats at IDLE SPEED ONLY during this crisis.
One Tree Island is currently just One Tree!

Due to this year’s ProcellaCor treatment that appears to have eradicated most of the Eurasian milfoil in the lake, the EcoHarvester was only used to harvest water chestnuts. Since most of the water chestnuts reside in shallower water at the north end of the lake, the harvester was easily able to pull them out with their roots well before the nutlets had a chance to grow. About 1 acre of water chestnuts was harvested on July 7th in accordance with our DEC permit.
