The Cool Down —
Eagle Lake, a picturesque body of water located in Lassen County in Northern California, showed an encouraging increase in water levels in March 2025. Over the course of a month, the lake rose an impressive .75 feet.
Don Willis, the County Surveyor for the Lassen County Department of Planning and Business Services wrote on SierraDailyNews.com that “this puts the lake level at an elevation of 5094.53 ft. as measured at the low water ramp at Gallatin, which is currently 0.53 ft. (6.36 in.) above where it was one year ago at this time.” He added, “Definitely nice to see!!”
He included an eye-catching photo of a boat ramp on the edge of the lake surrounded by snow-covered rocks and pine trees.
This is especially promising since Eagle Lake has seen major decreases in its water levels for many years. ABC10 reports, “Evaporation and winds drop lake levels at Eagle Lake several feet every year.”
