PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE FROM THE IDNR BELOW.  HAVE A SAFE AND NICE WEEKEND!

As of this morning, all gates at Stratton Dam and Algonquin Dam have been completely opened.  This action was taken per the operational manual and taking into consideration that: (1) an increase in inflow is predicted by the National Weather Service (NWS) the next few days; (2) above freezing temperatures are in the forecast; and (3) the NWS is predicting ½” to ¾” of precipitation in the next 5 days.

Thanks.
