Flow through the St. Marys Rapids expected to decrease Wednesday

The International Lake Superior Board of Control says gates will be adjusted on July 26.

However it cautions, some low-lying areas of Whitefish Island, including recreational trails, may still be flooded.Anglers and other users of the St. Marys Rapids, please be advised that the gates of the Compensating Works at the head of the St. Marys Rapids will be adjusted on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. Gates #14 and #15 will be closed, Gate #16 will be lowered to a setting of 5 cm and Gate #13 will be lowered to a setting of 86 cm .

On Wednesday, the flow through the St. Marys Rapids will decrease from approximately 1,200 m3/s to 780 m3/s . At this flow, some low-lying areas of Whitefish Island including recreational trails may still be flooded. Users are encouraged to use extreme caution. The goal of this gate movement and decrease in the St. Marys Rapids flow is to compensate for the increase in outflow through the Canadian hydropower plant. Major repairs have been completed and the outflow of the Canadian hydropower plant is returning to full capacity. Maximum flows also continue to be released through the two hydropower plants in the United States. The total St. Marys River flow is expected to be approximately 3,100 m3/s for the rest of July.
