The owners of Crane's need to get those chain link fences out of the lake.  They kept extending the fence as the water got lower, to try to keep their beach private.  

Now that the water is coming up, the fence needs to go!

A lot of people are going to have prop damage if they dont take care of it.

That's getting pretty high. I lived just south of Roam Hill when the lake flooded in the mid-ninety's. It looks like it's almost as high as then.

1245' today.  The "new" city launch will be open this season.  It was built in the late 90's, but had to close when lake level dropped below 1242'.  It is on the east side of the lake, closer to the freeway, at Lakeshore and Limited, near the Sheriff's Station.

When the water started dropping in '01 and '02, that ramp was closed.  In the summer of '02 the city cleared out all the boulders and debris that were high and dry.  These were real prop killers when the water was up...so now it should be a better place to launch.  The only bad thing is that the typical afternoon winds make that launch ramp very choppy.

I found these pix from last year, taken the Sunday of RYWB...

This was taken from the day-use picnic area on the East side.  The City Launch is to the left.

I remember it when it was that full. The skydive airport runway at the south end was under water(before the MX track existed). :eek
we were gonna camp in the Statepark at the north end but it was half under water too :( ...we went elsewhere. :good
.
I have little to no desire to use Elsinore anyhow..I'll leave it for all you guys to enjoy. :jumpie

Ain't life Grand? Treat it that way.

It's all a giant flood plain south of there where the MX track is and that is where they approved building of a golf course community. The track is supposed to re-locate closer to Grand Ave.

I'm pretty sure they sold it to the city, or gave it to them, not sure.  Someone else may have bought it other than the city, but I'm sure the state gave it up.  

I remember when I was a kid, my mom water skiied around the whole lake in February for her state issued "polar bear patch." She was an awesome skiier.  But February!   Brrrrrr!

Just for giggles, I did an overlay of the 2 photos. The perspectives are slightly different, but you get the idea.
