Red Lake Water Levels

Water levels in the Red Lake area are at their highest in more than 30-years.

The record levels could lead to shoreline property damage according to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Sections of the Red Lake shoreline are underwater and susceptible to errosion.

Boaters should be on the lookout for floating debris.

Thanks to the heavy rainfall this Summer, more water is entering the system than can be released by the control dam at Snowshoe Rapids.

Sandbags are available free-of-charge at the Red Lake Public Works Yard.
