About the Tides at Back River Reservoir
Back River Reservoir gets two high tides and two low tides most days, both about the same size. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 0.4 feet. Tides here are small, so wind and river flow can move the water as much as the tide does.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Sunday, November 8, when the water moves about 0.9 feet. The lowest water is 0.2 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 6:31 AM, and the highest is 1.1 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 12:43 PM.
