Lake Casitas is Open

I just received a call from Dave Wilson letting me know that the Lake Casitas campgrounds have been closed to any new camping but Lake Casitas is OPEN and allowing boats to launch.

The Marina Cafe is OPEN as well!

The bad news... The diversion is not running, but the lake reached 42% yesterday from the water that was diverted and from Santa Ana Creek and surrounding watershed during that last storm.

Main Ramp still. Not Coyote. The lake actually came up so it's keeping the main "ramp" open on the Marina side.

Govenor Newsom just ordered a 'Stay at Home" 60 days state wide that should end any personnel working the entry gate...

I just received word that Casitas will be closed after today. I'm unsure of when it will re-open.

At least the diversion is open and running this morning from the storm last night!
