In assessing the situation, factoring in the forecast of pending storms, current water level and the incoming flow of 27 inlets around the lake the decision was made at 8:30 am on Saturday, March 9, 2019, to close spillway gate #1 at Willow Creek after 47 hours of flow. This was done in accordance with the “Willow Creek Spillway Gates—Guidelines for Operation.”

From 9:30 am on March 7th (lake level, at 5107.15) to 8:30 am on March 9th, (lake level at 5,107.00), The Lake dropped 1.8 inches with gate #1 open.

The inlets are still flowing rapidly into the lake as another storm approaches this evening.  As of 8:00 AM today (3/11/19), the gates remain closed and the lake level is at 5,107.08 which equates to 4.5 inches ABOVE full lake elevation.

We hope you are enjoying the beauty of the lake during the winter months.  Opening day will be here before we know it and we are looking forward to an awesome summer!
