Exploring the bottom of Folsom Lake

[GRADS]

Here's someone's house. Can't tell how far the center goes down but it looks deep. I will post more pics when I get off the board.

Is that water cold if one was to get in?

[GRADS]

It's a little creepy by myself.

That's a pretty cute lunch pail you have Grads. Elementary school lost and found or did you actually purchase it?? :D

An asphalt road that is normally 80' underwater. It leads into the water. I wonder what's at the end of it?

That's sad, how low is it.

[HB Vic]

Pretty graphic way to show the States serious water problem. What a shame.

Pretty much happens at Folsom every year just not as soon and as drastic as this year.

[GRADS]

A few more from today. The underwater houses were a little scary. I was paddling along and then all of a sudden...bam I was on top of one.

I've read some books and stuff on the USBR back in the day. Bunch of property stealing bastards.

This is what I'm paddling over. The town of Mormon Island.

Don't get me started with the BOR. My home lake (Berryessa) was totally decimated by the incompetence of that Gov. agency, in cahoots with the Sierra club etc. Google if you're so inclined.
I'll try to find some articles later.

That is really sad what they did at Lake Berryessa. I've been going there since late 60's.

Yup. Some of the earliest pics I can recall of me boating were at Berryessa, early 70's. The shore line looks the same then and now. Different feel these days though.

I have no idea what happened to your lake, but this is what I think about the Sierra club. :kissit::kissit::kissit::kissit::kissit:

X2. I learned to boat and ski on Berryessa. My family owned a restaurant/bar there.

Aren't these levels normal for folsom? By spring it will be back up... no?? Isnt the lake a direct feeder for the farms up there?

It does get low in the winter but this is unusually low. It would take a really big winter snowfall/rainfall to fill it completely up., but it has happened before. When they originally built the dam in 1955 they expected it to take 5 years to fill. I guess they had a huge winter that year and it filled in 1 year. It's currently at 386'...when it drops to 360' it dead pools which means no water going out.....I hope the DLB likes salt water. ;)
