Monitoring Water Levels At Grenadier Pond

A measuring device has been installed at the pier – a metre stick to measure the water level of Grenadier Pond. The 1 metre level represents about 77 metres above sea level.

The pond’s level fluctuates through the seasons. To check the current level, stand near the shoreline just south of the lookout pier and look carefully under the edge of the pier (see photo below). If you’d like to be a regular “pond watcher”, simply keep track of the date and level and send your sightings to mail@highparknature.org with “Pond level” in the subject line.
