water marker well be low normal

We went to a different lake and you really can tell that it hasn't rained in a few days weeks with this water marker showing the water line below...well below...what is was normal. We all had a good time, I just kept looking at the water marker and thinking if the water was suppose to X be we'd be well over our heads in the water.  Or as we where sitting on the beach ~where I took this photo~ we would have been in the water not yards for the lake.  :-/
