Reports are forecasting that snowpack will raise water levels at Lake Powell. That's exciting news! My family and I have been visiting the lake for as long as I can remember, but it's been a while since it's risen to a point where the Castle Rock Cut is open. I haven’t been back for a while and I can’t wait. We're looking forward to some fishing this summer and my favorite spots will be easier to get to with the Cut open, and that may just happen with all of this SNOW!
