Any lake outlets open?

[TreeFrog]

Would like to know if lake outlets are open. Could someone please advise? Thanks.

Eastern is closed. Has been for quite some time. Not likely to open soon without mechanized digging.

What's the lake right there at Watersound? Is it open?

Deer Lake to the west and Camp Creek Lake to the east. Anyone?

Gonna take some serious rain to get them open, probably something along the lines of a tropical storm or hurricane. I prefer the former if that's what it takes.

After a couple of good rains, Eastern Lake should open up. It opened a number of times this year all by itself. Doing much better since the County quit digging it out. The huge sand piles the County did have finally worked themselves down. That's one good thing with the budget being down, not so much money to mess digging on the lake.

Eastern Lake has been closed for quite some time. It doesn't look a threat to open again anytime soon, either.

Have a look at Deer Lake or Camp Creek. For some reason their little winding outlets seem to stay open more than the big outlets of Eastern, Western, etc. I haven't personally been there recently, maybe someone else can tell about them.

Does Eastern Lake still have all of the marsh grass growing in it? The last time I kyacked there, the grass kept getting hung up on the paddle.

I think Camp Creek Lake must be open... I haven't been down to the outlet in a while, but the water level in the lake has gone down at least a foot this week...

Lake Powell is still closed...until we get a lot more rain.
