I belong to a forum called Waynesword. It's all about Powell, and there's a lot of talk about the water level.View attachment 117839 View attachment 117840
Yes it is off to a good start... I just hope they keep getting snow for the next 60 days like they have the past two week.
With the snowpack right now on the western slope it will only bring around 30 feet of run off to the lake in the spring and even though that will be welcomed it will not be enough to insure good lake levels in 2023. What we really need are back to back storms on the western slope of CO and on the west side of the continental divide in Wyoming and the temps to stay low to keep as much snowpack in the mountains as long as it can before April/May run off.
As of this last weekend we have 32ft under our slip. Bullfrog bay in some areas are down to about 15ft.
On a good water year we usually have around 80 ft under our slip at this time of year.
Park services and Airmark will decide in February if they will be moving all of Bullfrog slips, fuel dock, boat rentals, and pump out over to the Halls Crossing side of the lake. This will be a big undertaking and us at BullFrog dont want the move to happen as if the ferry is not back in operation it will add 1.5hour drive for us all.
I couldn't find any real time images of the bay. The first picture shows Bullfrog marina in the background and Halls Crossing in the foreground. This picture is of the elevation of the lake probably 80 ft up from real time today. The 2nd picture is a little more real time. What you cant see is that the average depth of Bullfrog bay is around 20 feet. Our slip is on the far end of all the slips and right now we are 100 yards from the land on the left side of the top picture.
Every now and then pics get posted. Someone flys over and takes pics.
