lew Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lots of water flowing through the Trent System now and it could cause even more problems as it increases down stream. I took these at Burleigh Falls earlier today And this is the old bridge and lock at Youngs Point with parts of it completely under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Wow that is high. Fished the area lots in the past. Daughter also swam the falls with the locals when she was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yep, its coming folks. If your on a flood plain, prepare. We're approaching record water levels in most watersheds right now. Cool pics Lew! Thanks for sharing. It would be cool to see the change over the weekend. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 It's too bad the camera doesn't capture the power or size of the waves cause it's actually far rougher than it looks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Maybe I'll go up in a few days when the waters higher and see if I can figure how to work the video on my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a good memory Cliff. Here's the same place a year ago and it's alot calmer And just for comparison, here it is mid-winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Consider yourself lucky, any water that is moving that fast here is definitely brown. You probably wouldn't be able to see concrete on the locks if the water was more than an inch or two deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattybculp Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Last night I loaded up and dropped about 100 sandbags at buddy of mines place on lower chemong. The water is on his front lawn and won't be long until it's right at his house. Pretty scary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
