The last time I was up there was the end of July.. and at that time things still looked pretty good. Not the wettest I've ever seen them, but a improvement over last year.

marine-man,

You helped me out on this question back in July thank you for that. I was hoping to see if it has stayed the same or hopefully improved. Thanks for your help much appreciated.

I'll be back in the Harvey area the third weekend of September.. remind me around that time frame and I'll see if I can do a little more looking.

With the amount of rainfall the state has had this summer I would think it should be fairly decent. It's been somewhat dry the past month, but they got it in buckets earlier in the summer.

Check out my update post here

Things are drier than they were earlier this summer...

I would have to be close. I still think it is a little better but it is probably is pretty close.

I'm sure it's possible, but if you use the Sheyenne River as a gauge at Harvey the level is not as low as last year. At this time last year I was able to walk on rocks that were typically 1-2' below the water level this year on the Sheyenne River Reservoir at harvey. As far as I know they haven't modified the spill way or adjusted the flow from the spillway this year vs last year either.

Sloughs along Hwy 52 Harvey to Minot the lowest they have been in years and definitely lower than 2006. Further you travel west - drier it gets!

Smaller sloughs drying. My brother supports the ag industry in NODAK (all across NC and NW ND)and has watched it dry ... dry .. dry

We go just south of Bottineau every year. Last year was super dry and this year reports I've seen are no better. Anyone with first hand reports??
