SaskLakes Weekly Update

This newsletter is your weekly guide to what's happening around Saskatchewan lakes, including featured lakes, community photos, news, site updates, and upcoming events to help you make the most of your time at the lake.

High water levels in different parts of the province

River levels have gone up over a metre in Saskatoon which is more than was originally predicted.

The North Saskatchewan has risen nearly a metre over the last 14 days in several spots as well.

Be careful if you're heading out on the water or near the river banks, stay safe!

New Lake Camera

A new lake camera was installed a few weeks ago at Dore Lake. You can check out the live feed from the camera on the cameras page.

Updated pages on the site

I've rolled out updates to a few different sections on the site over the last week.

Homepage

I've updated the homepage to make it easier to navigate the different sections on the site and find nearby lakes.

Water Levels

I've been working on the water levels page and you can now sort by level change, and max discharge as well as see nearby stations.

Photos Page

The photos page has been updated to make it easier to find photos from a specific lake/park/photographer. If you search for one of these you'll see a section in the search results that let's you see all the photos for that park/lake/photographer.

I've also made the photo pop-up easier to use on mobile and added a fullsize button when looking at a photo.
