Water Conditions: New Melones Lake is currently holding 1,988,749 acre-feet of water. The lake rose three feet this week, and is at 1051 ft. above sea level and only 37 ft. from full capacity. Water temperature today was 58-61 degrees. Water is fairly clear, with some staining in areas. With the rising water, there is lots of grass and vegetation underwater. Watch for floating debris, unmarked island tops, and rattlesnakes that have been flooded from their holes- we have had reports of waterlogged snakes climbing into boats. The highest ramps are now in use, and the lower parking lot at Glory Hole is underwater.
