In 1986, It surpassed it's maximum flood control pool of 1044 ft. The elevation at the top of the dam is 1050.50. I guarantee they want to open the gates but downstream flooding will not allow them to do it. Keystone is 19 1/2 feet above normal pool due to inflow from the salt fork river and other creeks. Hopefully with a weather pattern change coming they will be able to start releasing water next week. It's been a lot of years since it was this high. It will take a long time to get the mess cleaned up after the fact. I will be really surprised if the campgrounds are open by July 4th.
