Default Slave lake water level

Hey just wondering if someone could tell me if the water levels went up in slave lake. Mostly wondering about the Hilliards bay bot launch is deep enough for my boat. Don't want to have to drive all the way to Shaws point again like last year. Thank you in advance!

Depending on the time of year water levels would be about the same or higher. Water levels right now are about the same as they were last year during late summer... fairly high. This is much higher than they were early last summer.

So I would have no problems getting my 17.5 ft SeaRay into the water without pulling way into the lake? It's only a single axle trailer. Needs to have water upto the top of the fenders to let the boat free. Thanks in advance!

I've never used the launches you intend to use, so I cant tell you that. I can say that the water level is pretty high.

You'll be fine, but I'm curious what time of year you had problems at hilliards last year? There was lots of water then too.
