Pallisades ReservoirThe water line at Pallisades Reservoir is getting lower and lower. I would estimate that it is about 70' below the 'high' mark. Last summer the lake remained mostly full through out the summer. This year, as can be seen in the above photo, is a different story.
Well Below Average
As this graph show, the lake is well below its storage capacity for this time of year. I obtained this graph from the US Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation. Star Valley and the Salt River are part of the Upper Snake River Drainage.
