Opening weekend is basically just around the corner. USFS lists campground as “tentative” opening 5/27 (see previous shared post from LNF). Ok long story short. Now, the lake elevation is about 16.5 inches lower than last year at the same time. USFS removed the courtesy dock in late June 2021 due to mud & possibly not being able to get it out further as lake elevations dropped & not being able to get it out. Managing Concessionaire FOR Lassen Community College installed & maintained a different floating courtesy dock (and the ramp ) for all of us as it’s the only ramp (albeit) to serve everyone at Eagle Lake. The lake elevation is basically at August 2021 level in April 2022. No signs of any launching improvements going on. If you think USFS will install that dock they pulled? Think again. The good folks who were running everything & keeping us all moving forward & happy for all these years & expediting evacuations (including disabled campers with little time to pack)thru all the fires & closures have recently resigned. If you have reservations/plans and concerns you might be advised to start calling these numbers today and enquire as to the opening of the recreation area campgrounds and IF there will be a courtesy dock, boat rentals, fuel & a store this season…not to mention sheriff boat patrols or rescues. 1 month away. Spalding peeps should also be concerned…could hamper our launching & our local economy as well. Not to mention the revenue that could be lost for Sville & Lassen county in general.
