Has anybody been to Holmes Bend to see how far up it is? Second parking lot or higher?
Tim posted a video on FB a couple of days ago, driving thru the parking area of Holmes Bend, & the water was up to the front edge of the third parking lot. COE chart shows the lake has been cresting over the last few days, only rising an inch or two during those days.
It's at 699 as of this morning ... 24' over Summer Pool (31' over Winter Pool)
Thats alot of water !

Here's the video I did few days ago. Hopefully everyone can open it.

Does anyone know what the level has to drop to to be able to use the ramp at Holmes Bend? Planning a trip in mid-April.
I think the top of the ramp is 682. Seven feet over summer pool.

Hard to believe greens still coming up when they have finally started dropping Cumberland. May he slow but atleast it’s headed in the right direction. :biggrin
Green has dropped 0.02ft in the last 24hrs ... Cumberland has dropped 0.4ft (Cumberland is 8X's the size of Green, yet Green's drainage area is almost 8X's as large as Cumberland's) Green empties directly into the Ohio River, while Cumberland empties into four other lakes before it gets to the Ohio River.Quote:

Lake Level Update: as of 6:00 am lake level is 699.49 msl with a setting of 13 tenths on the bypasses for an outflow of around 314 cfs (cubic feet of water per second). Surface Temperature 45 ° F
At 8:20 am the gate setting was increased to 2 tenths on the main gates. At 9:20 am the gate setting will be increased to 4 tenths on the main gates and this process will continue every hour until we reach our desired outflow of 11 tenths on the main gates. Our desired outflow will be 4,457 cfs by days end.
