Lake Sammamish Water Levels near normal, for now…..
Posted By Dwight on October 9, 2011
It has been some time since we had water levels near normal. The last two seasons have been wet. Debris and growth at the outlet of the lake have restricted flow and remain a concern. This year King County did more than usual, but there are still large obstructions and sediments in the channel. If this is another wet winter, as is expected, then we can expect some very high waters. Batten down the hatches, this can happen very quickly in early fall, mid winter, or spring. I recently surveyed existing conditions at the lake outlet and I will report back after I analyze the data. The County is also working on a contract to have the outlet surveyed, but I don’t see any work being done yet.
Cutthroat Trout are coming in the lake now, and the summer water fowl are gone.
Enjoy the Fall!
