Dear Lake Camanche visitors,

Thank you for your interest in our lake. We understand there may be questions and concerns about the current water levels. We want to take a moment to explain the current situation and outlook for the summer.

Our lake is currently lower than other lakes in California due to our special runoff and inflow/outflow patterns. We anticipate that there will be a significant snowmelt event in the coming weeks, which will cause our lake levels to rise significantly. We are taking proactive measures to prepare for this fast and considerable rise.

We also anticipate a near-spill scenario at Camanche this summer and must take these proactive measures now in preparation for this event. Our agency has informed us that adjusting flows into and out of the lake considers various factors for the safest and most optimal outcome for the rush of water coming our way.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to a safe, enjoyable, and "full-lake" summer at Lake Camanche.

Sincerely,

The Camanche Team
