Bartlett and Horseshoe – We now have water (1 Viewer)

[LandCruiserPhil]

My girls and I went out to the Horseshoe – Bartlett area today for a little wheeling and sightseeing.

The waterfall at the north end of Camp Creek is flowing great and worth the trip out. You can pretty much wheel all but the last 500’.

They are dumping large amount of water out of Horseshoe dam. We wont be driving across it for a while. Horseshoe was at 36% capacity on 12/30 today 100% plus.

Bartlett is also 100% but with tons of debris in the water and zero shore line. They have been opening the dam nightly trying to get the lake down to open shoreline. Basically there is no Bartlett flats right now.

There were a lot of people on both sides so they were getting across somehow. But not us

Also we stopped to see the Ranger and the wife loaded up on free teaching stuff and I was able to obtain some very detailed trail maps of the area if anyone is interested.

I go to srpnet.com a couple times a week. You can check out all of the lake levels and water running downt the rivers. Last year the whole system was at 42 percent and now it is above 80%.

This one you can change the table to see river flows, rain, for alot of gauges around the state. You can also make it show for the last month. Here is the rain for the last month at the Verde and Tangle creek.

Cool stuff! Where can I be a spectator for this? My son would love it.

and for Roosevelt...

 

[RUSH55]

Cool pics of Roosevelt. At the 81% mark, the lake is supposedly higher than it has ever been, considering it is now to the upper dam levels which were built in '96.
