Despite last year's unusually wet winter, Trinity Lake in far northern California needed another big season of rainfall to undo years of drought.
TRINITY LAKE -- While many of California's reservoirs saw full recovery from the drought during last year's wet winter, there was one notable exception: Trinity Lake. The state's third largest reservoir did not rebound like the others. In fact, it might as well have been another year of drought for the people there, many of whom felt as if they'd been left out of that comeback winter. So Trinity really did need another big rainy season and, so far, they're getting it.
And, with the lake soaring now, those voices seem to have been heard.'Since all the complaining and everything, they're going to keep the water in the lake this year,' Marlin said.'We are 85 feet higher on Trinity than we were a year ago today,' said Donald Bader, who oversees Lake Shasta and Trinity Lake for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.Bader says Trinity, which is mostly fed from the surrounding snowpack, is currently benefiting from two solid years of precipitation.
