The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1,043.25 feet, coming up 0.2 feet this past week. We are 3.25 feet below full pool.
The reservoir has opened up drastically since last week! Usable launches are Blythe Bay, State Park and Glen Williams as well as the Road M launch. MarDon Resort’s launch should be available within a few days.
There is ice from the Blythe Bay launch paralleling the shore at about 100 yards across the face of MarDon Resort to the corner of the dam. The dunes are still iced over. Other than that the reservoir is ice-free, including the face of the dam, the area from the dam to Goose Island to the dam and from Goose Island to the face of the dunes. A lot of open water.

We have open water on Potholes Reservoir! The State Park boat launch is usable. The sand dunes still have ice, as do the edges from Blythe Bay to the face of the dam coming across the face of MarDon Resort, out about 100 yards. The main pool is ice-free. Lind Coulee has sizable ice coverage with open spots. We have highs forecast in the mid-40s with lows above freezing. It’s looking like we made it through winter and should have a normal to early spring.
