John. and I went out for a bike ride to Folsom yesterday and snapped some pics of the low water levels.
Looking back at the boat ramps at Granite Bay from the water.

Maybe you could put up a christmas tree lot there... looks like plenty of parking available:D

[Hardly Satisfied]

Wow, That's sad to see, It's almost all dryed up.

[YeLLowBoaT]

The water is so low :(

[Cas]

should've brought a metal detector.....I really liked those Ray Ban's I lost back in '79 there.

How long ago were you boating in that cove?

[grads2112]

How long ago were you boating in that cove?
Earlier this year.

[Fastlane]

Earlier this year.
Thats amazing how fast it is drying up. Sorry to see that.

[acatitude]

Find any used pasties in that cove??:)

[Dave C]

what lake? ;) that looks like my backyard after a heavy rain.

[HCS]

I have some of the same pics. Took my boy to Beals point to ride bikes.
I'll post my pics later, they look the same. :rolleyes:

[highvoltagehands]

Yeah, they were probably trying em on. :D :D :D :D Couldn't resist.

[RACER52]

so what does it take to be the King of that lake?
looks like all you need is 100lbs thrust trolling motor mounted to the bow.
I figured there was some humor involved when someone on these boards could call themselves KING.

were you out there on Saturday? We rode our bikes from the Granite Bay launch ramp over the levees to Beals Point. The water level is now down 100 feet from the high mark last year. They are still letting out 3 to 4 times more water than is flowing in.

[RACER52]

do they lower the lake to this level every year?
We get lots of business from Folsom towards the end of the season from people wiping out their drives and under water gear.

Actually I was there Nov 19th, Monday. I was going to try to ride my bike over the Dam road to check out constuction on the new bridge. :D
The cops threw us off. :D lol.
So I went to Beals point and we did the samething, we rode our bikes on top the levee. We rode on the levee towards the Dam until we got to the cyclone gate, then back to the point and down on the beach or lake bottom.

[eliminator1000]

Is there any good reason the dam road is closed?

[Mrs.charitycase]

WOW that's awful!! Did you guys happen to do a rain dance while you were out there? RAIN!!RAIN!!RAIN!!

[707dog]

thats sad to see!! never been but always wanted to check that place out.. hey where is the fish and game/goverment peeps raging about the low water levels killing off breeding grounds and fish population:idea: :idea: they do it every where else!!!

[Poker Runs West]

A point to remember is that when they built the dam they said it would take 5 years to fill. It filled that winter and the dam prevented a big flood in Sacramento.
SO KEEP RAIN DANCING........................................

Well if we don't get any rain will you set up a bicycle poker run:idea: :D

[grads2112]

Rain is definitely important at this stage. With a good rain storm it can fill up at a rate of 20'+ a day.

[out of bounds]

Dammm! this sucks !!!!!!!!!!
maybe I can go find my anchor back in pastie? yellow & blue if anybody finds it ,I will take it back.

[out of bounds]

dammmmmmmmmm !!! this realllllly blows. come on rain!!! well at least I can go get my anchor out of pastie and is it possable to get some of the other things I have lost out there??? ( part of my kidney,brain cell a girl or 2)

I just saw something on the news about Mormon island is comming out of the water. Did you guys see any of the buildings. I'm thinking of heading out there this Sat or Next to take some pictures of it.

I saw this on the news last night. It might be cool to go out and see Mormon Island. They said rangers are closely guarding it so people do not take stuff from the old town. Let me know if you want to go Saturday and I will go with you.

[justfloatn]

Let me know if you want to go Saturday and I will go with you.
Ha.Ha.Ha...Where have I heard that befor:D :eek: :D
Sat sounds good. It looked like it is over on the Folsom side near Browns. I just want to take some pictures and look around. I'm a History Channel geek:D

yeah, can we go after 12 noon? I have Direct TV coming over because after only 3 days, our HD channels don't work.
Kinda funny that you bring up this topic. I was talking to my water flow scientist people yesterday and they told me about how in 77/78 the sheriffs had to patrol the area so people did not go in and disturb and steal stuff.
do you want to go by boat? or by car and walk?

[acatitude]

do you want to go by boat? or by car and walk?
Yea launch at granite bay and make a 100mph run across the lake :rolleyes:
