On the rise

Life of the Party
Was scouting for places to take my kids deer hunting and decided to see how Spada was doing. 80% of the drinking water supply for Snohomish County comes from here.

I have never seen it this low. But now every river and creek is raging into it and the water is as brown/green as southern bayou. By the end of next month it will probably be overly full again.

In the second pic, im standing where i would normally have been launching my kayak in late August.

I don't think that I have ever seen the lake that low. I've lived it Washington a long time before I moved to Montana. Can you drive over Spada Dam or is it gated off. At one time you used to be able to access the dam from the west side via logging roads. At one time in my life I drove all over the hills on the wet side of the state. Now everything is gated off.
