Lake Powell???
With all the crazy weather, is Lake Powell filling up? I want to make it there someday, but always read about it drying up...Is it getting water back in it?

Check this site out.

in answer to your question, yes it is filling up. As bad as it has been these past few years...Lake Powell is actually doing what it was designed for. Keeping the southwest alive.

The snowpack is at near 190% in the mountians here. If the weather breaks and gets hot our run off will be interesting. And that runs right into Powell. It has been unseasonably cool and wet lately, which has slowed the run off.

Powell would be full this year. They will be releasing 13 million arce ft of water into Mead instead the required 9 million. Lake Mead is 130 ft below full pool. In the newspaper it showed it will be going up 30+ ft this year.

This is going to be a great year for going to powell. i haven't seen it full in a long time. It is nice because when it is full there is better access to alot of things you wouldn't see with a lower water level. Bad part is that all the crap and trash that people have left on the shore will be washed in to the lake.
