gunlock reservoir conditions?

[jman]

Anyone know if Gunlock Reservoir (near St. George) is overflowing at this time? I thought since nearly most Northern Utah reservoirs are over 100% capacity and the flooding up here - and with the snowpack at the Virgin above 150% over a month ago...that reservoir has to be filled to the brim right?

And according to current conditions at stateparks.utah.gov - it says its 3,070 out of 3,070. So safe to assume it is?

If it is, it has awesome waterfalls. Making the drive from SLC just once to see him is ENTIRELY worth the trip alone...

hmmm... tough call, as far as i know it still wasn't full, baker res is over flowing and pine valley res is overflowing but i haven't been near gunlock. my friend was over there a few days ago, so i'll ask him in the morning and i'll let you know.

I was there a week ago and it wasn't. I'd be interested to find out if that's changed, though.

I went canoeing last sunday and we paddled up to the spillway. I'd say that it was running over maybe about 50-100 cfs? There were numerous waterfalls and swirl pools. It was really pretty. Lots of trash in the reservoir from the re-filling. The lake water is full of moss "floaties", but it was awesome taking the wife and dogs and friends in their canoe with their dog. Water was delightful for swimming. Quite a few people walking to the spillover, but very few people on the lake.

Great thanks Bo! Any pics by chance?

So if I drive down tomorrow is it safe to assume it will still be overflowing?

I wanna get good pics of the falls, this time.

Didn't take a camera darnit! I would think that it is still flowing nicely? With the hot temps we've had I would imagine that it is flowing even more this weekend? Good luck on the picture taking! I may see you....might just take my canoe out again this weekend!
