Loon Lake Spillway to overflow


El Dorado County Supervisor Sweeney has received word from SMUD that there is a high probability that, between now and June 4, the spillway at Loon Lake will overflow causing flooding.

People using the Rubicon Trail during the time period may become stranded or unable to return home.

Please help get the word out so that everyone is aware of this potential situation.

I thought they didn't want people on the Rubicon durring the spring run-off, due to too much trail damage?

I would love nothing more right now than to be stranded on the Rubicon and unable to return home

They were telling everyone that they were going to release water into the spillway over the weekend and that people could be stuck.  But they never released any water.  I think they were just trying to keep people away from the trail.
