Drawdown at Lacamas, Round lakes begins

The city of Camas began its annual process of lowering water levels in Round and Lacamas lakes this week, on Monday, Sept. 14.

This process makes it possible for city staff to inspect the upper and lower dams and conduct any necessary maintenance. During the drawdown, water levels will be reduced by approximately six feet. The lakes will reach their lowest levels around Sept. 28 and refilling will tentatively begin Oct. 26. During this period of low water, boat launches may not be accessible.
