Great East Lake dam is located at the south/east end of the lake on the NH/ME border in Wakefield. The following parameter is currently being measured at this site: Great East Lake Stage (Lake Elevation) Precipitation,air temperature and humidity. Note: Precipitation is not recorded in the winter months from October to April. Summer Operations Lake level is maintained at full pond. Full pond is equal to the top of the spillway elevation at the dam. Seasonal Fall Drawdown The lake level is gradually lowered by operations of the gate at the dam. These operations start at the begining of October of every year. The lake is lowered to three feet below full pond level. Spring Refill Lake is refilled during spring runoff, and full pond is achieved after ice out. Note: Water levels generally fluctuate in response to precipitation, snowmelt, drought or other meteorological conditions. Target water levels are maintained by the adjustment of flows at the dam in response to these conditions. |
