Title: Rathbun Lake Level
Post by: 75starflight on June 10, 2014, 09:07:10 AM
As of Now the lake is four feet lower than it was for the meet last year. But it looks like they have the outflows shut down at the moment.

Yep, they got 5 inches of rain in one night on Saturday, so they're holding water back.

But...last year the lake was at 921' elevation, and today's report says its at about 910' elevation...so its about 11' down from last year...

You can run a report here...this one is set from last year's meet to this year's meet.  Maybe we'll have a beach!

Wow 5 inches! It is way down from last year, let's keep our fingers crossed.
