Lake Sakakawea

As Lake Sakakawea begins to refill...it’s gainined 11 vertical feet in the past month or so, since May. Which is huge when we are talking about vertical feet, and the amount of flooded acreage it stretches out across.

Creating better access, flooded vegetation for fish habitat. Not to mention giving communities a sigh of relief which depend upon the big lake for drinking water. Get this: we are inching closer to an elevation of 1820 (around 1818 last I checked) it has been 5 years since we could say that. wow....even that surprises me.

keep it up!

Doug, glad the lake is filling, but people had little to do with it. The record rainfall of the last few months, on the other hand, did.

Of course, people can see to it that the lake does not empty right back to the previous level. You’ll have to fight the environazis to do that.

And I am still looking for bear pics, lots of people have paper pictures, no digital, and my scanner has crapped out on me.

In a way people did help fill it. Part of the reason for the recharge is the downstream devastation which caused the COE to slow discharges and increase pool holdings of upstream reservoirs...but yeah...i won’t argue that ‘we’ can’t take much credit.
