********* This chart gives water levels on Deer Lake for the last decade:
During the fall of 2021, we had near record low lake water levels on Deer Lake. Then in the spring of 2022 rain and snow melt pushed the lake level to near record high. This year, 2023 has seen the same pattern. As you can see by the graph, the difference between highest and lowest is about one foot. The usual fluctuation is about six inches.

DLA is introducing the Beautiful Deer Lake Water Quality Initiative. It long-term effort including AIS prevention strategies and initiatives to improve water quality by reducing phosphorus loads dumped into Deer Lake by streams, septic systems, storm-water run-off, and shoreline erosion. DLA is asking Deer Lake property owners to open our hearts to the lake and take action. Please join our effort to improve Deer Lake water quality. Thank you.
