A lack of rain mixed with hot and dry conditions this spring has led to some lakes across north-west Saskatchewan having lower water levels than normal.
Patrick Boyle, spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, said naturally fed lakes were hit the hardest.
“Essentially what we’re seeing is a pretty below normal situation throughout most of the North West which has an impact on lake levels,” he said. “Particularly lakes which don’t have a structure and are naturally fed, so we’re also seeing a lot of evaporation losses as well from the hot, dry weather.”
Those who take recreational water vehicles to the Meadow Lake Provincial Park and normally launch from the Sandy Bay Boat Launch are being asked to detour to Howe Bay’s boat launch.
