Rising Water - Use Caution

Post by Pat »

With the recent rains, many lakes are rising pretty rapidly. Oroville has come up over 50 feet, Camp Far West is full, hopefully Shasta will start coming up too. Rising water means more floating debris, all those limbs and stumps that have been drying out for months, or even years, are going to be out on the lake. Fast moving rivers are carrying all kinds of stuff into the lakes and Delta. Keep an eye out and slow down if you see any debris at all. Also the shore lines are changing. What used to be an island might now be a hump a couple feet under the water.

Be careful and enjoy the filling lakes!!

I have seen logs over 2 feet in diameter just under the surface in Lake Shasta. Would take out a lower unit big time. You can see all kinds of junk going down the Sac.
