This was the lake in December
This is the lake on Memorial Day. It will completely fill up with the snow melt.

Wow. I know you all need water out there, so great. Hey, where did that dam go?

That is impressive. We went through a few dry years here a while back. I remember seeing a man mowing the grass that grew up around his pontoon boat. That was still tied to the pier that was six feet above it.

There's a big earth dam behind the concrete one in front. If you look at the fence on the road in the first picture, you can see the top of it in the second one.

I live just a few minutes from one of the marinas at Lake Oroville. The lake would've been at full pool a couple weeks ago if they hadn't started letting so much water out to prepare for snow melt.
And as hot as it's been this weekend, that snow will start melting in a hurry!
