Dr. Chris Houser gave a fascinating presentation on the 2023 Otter Lake Wave Study results. One of the key findings is that Otter Lake, with its many narrow areas, has some of the highest measured wave energy (from boat wakes and their reflection off of the lakeshore) of all the lakes studied by Dr. Houser and his team.
If you have evidence of the impact wakes have had on the lake over time (i.e. old photos showing change) and/or your shoreline and structures, the research team would like to document that impact. Please send such info to: chouser@waterloo.ca
