When I was up there last Monday, it looked like the water needed to come up about 5 vertical feet to hit the bottom end of the new ramp. As of now 2/15 6pm, the lake has come up 2.5 feet since last monday. Hope the water keeps coming.

I heard they are holding it below the new ramp til the parking area is done due to not wanting water on the new asphalt and/or concrete. Someone should know for sure. More than one tournament headed that way next weekend. Bill K

No the water is not to the ramp yet. It is covering the rocks at the bottom. They are not letting anymore than nessasary out (900cfs). The water needs to come up about 3 feet to reach the base of the ramp. They cannot finish the access road until the rain subsides, hopefully that wont be for two to three weeks and we get lots of water for the summer...
