Adjusting gate heaters at Gull Lake
Mary Kay Larson, park manager at Gull Lake near Brainerd, Minn., adjusts the gate heaters on Gull Lake dam. The heaters are used periodically throughout the winter to thaw the dam’s gates so that outflow adjustments can be made as the lake’s pool elevation falls during the winter drawdown.
