| 810.0 | Level at which water stops flowing over the spillway at Morse Reservoir |
| 807.0 | Lake sections north of 236th Street in Cicero average 2-3 feet deep and maybe limited for use except by pontoons and small fising boats. Submerged points or sandbars are 2-5 feet deep. This depth extends up to several hundred feet offshore. Boats during Summer 2007 got caught on these shallow areas. Several boats received propeller damage. |
| 806.9 | Lake sections between 236th Street and Carrigan Road are navigable. The point on the east side of the lake at 216th Street just north of the marina has 2-3 foot water extending several hundred feet out into the lake. The first point south of 236th Street on the west side of the lake extends well out into the lake at normal pool of 810 feet. Normal 5 foot depths a few hundred feet offshore are now 2 feet deep and pose a buoy marked boating hazard. |
| 806.8 | The south end of the lake south of Carrigan Road to the dam is all navigable. However, a sandbar on the main body near the first point on the east side of the lake extends over 500 feet out into the lake. This bar averages 5 to 6 foot deep when the lake is 810 feet. Now this sandbar is only 2-3 feet deep and is an unmarked navigation hazard. The party island bay in this same lake section averages at best 5 feet deep in many areas. The channel on the west side of the island averages 2-3 feet and is likely a navigation hazard. |
