There is something to say about the Broncos on every newscast! There is a half-hour Broncos program every week! It rained hard last night. It continued to rain lightly all day. The lake is high. The marina area is underwater. Good thing most of it floats. The boat ramp is underwater; the road to get there is underwater. Here is a parking lot by the lake.
It has become the lake. This is the road to the swim beach parking.
The water is so high; why don’t they just let some of the water out? Then we look down the South Platte below the dam and it’s cresting its banks. The South Platte goes right through Denver. Chatfield Reservoir is here to protect Denver from flooding. Who cares about a little lost landscape along the lake. There is a balancing act with all the streams and dams upstream from Denver; storing water to release it slowly, yet releasing enough to make room to contain the June snowmelt.
