The Lake

People often ask about the lake level here.  There has been a history of releasing many gallons to the orchards down below each autumn - after all the lake was constructed to provide this facility for the orange groves.  Most of those groves have now given way to urban sprawl and very little water is therefore released.

On a ride around the lake yesterday I took this picture and you can see that we're very full.  That is the edge of the dam at the end of the photo. There is a local site, http://bbmwd.com/Lake_Info.html that will give you all the information about the lake and the current level, which as of this morning was 1' 4" below full, which is pretty good.  We look forward to a great summer of boating.
