Just a few comments but it seems to be covered by Mike and Rick. Current lake level- 1701.96 Lowest so far (2004) 1685 so we have some space to go. We have about 30 feet on the west side of the ramp (5 lanes total) then we will switch over to the east side (3 lanes) on the concrete mats. As Mike sai...

Hi everyone, Glad to see some talk has already begun for the inspection seal we are working on. The picture displayed is our temporary seal that we are using as a product test to determine if the wristband type material will hold up for transport of boats. I have been the only one applying the seal ...

Diamond Valley is looking into a similar solution, less of a lock and more of something that has to be cut off before you launch. The idea is to be able to identify the last place the boat launched so we don't have to inspect every vessel all the time. If anyone comes up with something they think wi...

Hi everyone- We have been working over the past few months with MWD to outline some launching protocols for DVL in response to the Quagga Mussel migration into Southern California. Last spring DVL stopped receiving water from the Colorado River in order to help protect it from the invasive mussels. ...

We are doing our best to operate the lake in a safe way while looking out for everyone’s health and safety. We will continue to analyze the lake closures on a day by day basis and will do ...

We are planning to be open tomorrow unless the weather changes. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Jeff

We had to close the lake today due to safety and air quality. We have not made a decision for tomorrow but I will post something as soon as we do.

Jeff

The high spot you are talking about comes out of the water around 1700 foot elevation. We did not hit that elevation until around Oct of 2004. We will be close to seeing that spot around mid-December. At our lowest level that spot was about 10-15 feet out of the water.

Jeff

We have a ways to go before we run out of launch ramp. I am working on a specific elevation this week until we don't have any launch ramp left and will get back to everyone when i find out. Our current lake elevation is 1726 and we opened the lake at around 1723 in 2003. The middle lane of the launc...

After reading through everyone’s comments over the past few days I wanted to try and explain why we are concerned with the potential impact of the off limits rules for DVL. It would be irresponsible of us as the operator’s not to be concerned with a potential foreseeable revenue loss for the fac...

We have been watching the new off limits closely to determine if it is going to have an impact on the lake attendance for DVL. Because we are so limited in who can fish DVL, and the no body contact rules this may have a huge impact on our ability to operate effectively. I don’t think we are the on...
