Howard Prairie campgrounds and the resort are now open, as is the store. With low water levels, the marina boat ramp is closed. Access at Howard Prairie is currently limited to the gravel ramp near the dam. Unfortunately, irrigation drawdown has already begun and the lake is drawing down.

Anglers should be prepared for toxic algae blooms. Learn how to recognize algae blooms and get tips for fishing safely.

No legal trout will be stocked this year due to another low water year. The lake is 12 percent full and already dropping. Wednesday morning it was approximately 7,422 acre feet.
