Nice day on the lake. We paddled downstream to the dam before turning back and heading up East Clear Creek (north fork) as far as we could go (just a short 1/2 mile from where Blue Ridge AZT 28 crosses the canyon). It gets more scenic the farther you go. Saw a bunch of ducks and a great blue heron. We had lunch and then headed the 3 plus miles back toward the boat ramp, stopping a couple of times to check out some potential camp spots.

Reservoir Level: 82%
Elevation Level: 6709 (Full pool is 6720).

I was guessing the water was 8-feet low. Apparently it's 11-feet low. I don't think it gets that full very often though based on marks on the shoreline.

The water level will continue to be drawn down all summer long, so make sure to visit this website for the current level:
