Natural water level of Maple Lake is 1000ft.

Once the lake level reaches 1000 feet water stops flowing out of the lake

The Maple Lake Property Owners Association (MLLPOA) and the Maple Lake Improvement District-Wright County (MLID-WC) are considering construction of a water level control structure to maintain the runout elevation of Maple Lake.
