Palisades Reservoir Levels Way Down

Today I learned that the Palisades Reservoir is expected to fill to only 2% of its full quota this summer - the weather has been so dry and there wasn't a lot of snow last winter. It's a huge reservoir - about 16,000 acres - so it's not going to dry up - but it is quite shocking how far down the levels are.

It is a popular lake for fishing, floating, camping and boating and is set in very beautiful, forested land across the Wyoming/Idaho border just south of Alpine, WY.
