PERSONAL FAVORITE We have had the occasion to visit a new Bistro in Danville, Golden Leaf Bistro, recently. We really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere so if you are looking for a new restaurant, try the Bistro which is near downtown Danville on Craighead Street.

The USGS webpage now shows you the elevation above sea level. 410.5 is normal level. You can now get a text message or email if the lake level is at a parameter you set. Ive set my notice to occur at 411.5 feet which is 1 foot above normal. This would be the time I need to remove stuff on the dock and make sure the boats are raised high enough to keep them on the lifts! See the link on the USGS site or click here..
