The International Joint Commission, which regulates the lake’s water level, says the lake will continue rising gradually over the next several days, and likely won’t peak out for another one-to-three weeks.

Just days ago, the record for water height set during 2017′s historic flooding was matched. That year, there were localized lake readings above 249 feet in some communities, like Olcott for instance, where there was a reading of 249.2 feet. However, the lake-wide average topped out at just 248.95 feet.

On Sunset Island, in Wilson, residents are concerned about what might happen if the lake continues to rise. Sunset Island is actually a peninsula, connected to the mainland by a stone walkway which has narrowed in recent weeks.

“It is quickly going to become an island again unless the water recedes,” said resident Kevin Doherty. Access will then only be by boat.
