41,000 Acre Feet, elevation: 5605’. It is normally drawn down dramatically by late summer.

Boating: All craft allowed with a speed limit 5 mph in all inlets, but low water makes the boat ramp unusable.

Fishing: Catchable rainbows are planted, Kokanee are available, and browns, and although decreasing in numbers; some large brownies remain. Better for trolling, but with some decent bank fishing still available at the right times.
