Folsom Lake feeds half of the Sacramento Valley their drinking water, not to mention the water that goes to the delta and socal.

Bumping this for the people that maybe didn't see it over the weekend.

Wow, that's terrible! Doesn't even look like the same place.

Thanks Grads, I was looking for this thread on my phone earlier. This pic was taken at lunch today.

Thats crazy! Is this a yearly occurrence or more of a rare thing due to a drought.

Grads, With all that shallow water it looks like your gonna need to sell that Shockwave and get yourself a jet boat for next summer!

It will drop a little every year but not usually this low. Its getting pretty low, almost the lowest I've ever seen it. It is approaching the point that no matter what kind of of winter we have we're probably not going to have enough water to boat next year.

I would go boatless and cut my dick off before I'd become a jet boater. ;)

There you go over reacting again.... Folsom is fed by one of the largest water sources in the world.... the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, which each fork of the American River is made up of The Tahoe National Forest and the Eldorado National Forest. Auburn (now removed) and Folsom Dams were installed for FLOOD CONTROL only because SO MUCH water came out of those mountains in the spring time thaws that Sacramento all the way down to Stockton as we know it was underwater for months at a time before the dams and levy systems were installed to control it. Yes it is at an all time low right now but water from the Sierra's is abundant. Shipping it all down to the desert southern CAL region via aquaducts certainly doesnt help either....

PS Mismanagement of our water resources by the CAL WATER RESOURCES BOARD is the real problem.... people are not engineers they are idiots!

It will be back.... and we will be back in Pasty Cove in no time!!!! with our BOATS!!!! lol....
