Additional Record Flood Information
Previous maximum observed elevation was 101.88 ft (seiche affected), on April 25, 1993, and 101.86 ft (no seiche), on April 28, 1993. Maximum known elevation since at least 1827 was 102.1 ft on May 4, 1869, surveyed from high water marks on a nearby railroad bridge. Official period of record is October 1863 to present, but because of gage moves it only is representative of Lake Champlain from March 1871 onward, thus the 1869 high water mark reading.
