As depressing as that 15% number is, it's still a big improvement over where the lake was a few months ago (when it was toying with the 9% mark). Overall, the lake is about 20 feet deeper than it was the last time I was there in Spetember.

A couple of the rangers were saying that the lake might hit 25% when the spring melt hits, and they were pretty damned happy about that number.
