BOATING — The level of Lake Roosevelt is at an elevation of about 1256 feet today, and it's expected to remain in the range of 1255.0 - 1258.5 for the next week.

The Bureau of Reclamation predicts the spring runoff to begin this weekend, and the weather forecast for a heat wave moving in seems to confirm that.

Until the runoff begins lake levels are expected remain fairly steady.

The drawdown is not nearly as severe as last year, as the chart shows.
