DIABLO, Wash. — Low precipitation levels in the Skagit basin this year are impacting fishing and camping opportunities on Ross Lake.
The National Parks Service said in a news release that Seattle City Light estimates that Ross Lake will be as much as twenty-five feet below normal levels for the entire summer.
The recreation area will be open to visitors, but the agency says the lower level of the reservoir will impact the availability of some visitor facilities, services and recreational opportunities.
Currently, the boat ramp at Hozomeen and all boat-in campsites on the lake are temporarily closed.
