Gates open at Bagnell Dam Lake of the Ozarks

With all the rain we have had they had to open 11 gates out of 12 to try and keep the lake from flooding.

I don't know why the 12th gate was not open. I do know they all work. Maybe it would have put to much water down streem at one time.

Every summer went i come down there, i try to go behind the dam, to this part where the camera guy is, it's so wonderful & serene back there, i loved going to the pow wow they had there some years back.

Thank you for your comment. They still have the Mountain Man event below the dam every year. Have you ever been to Ha Ha Tonka State Park? Just another great place here at Lake of the Ozarks.

this is from last year. That have had 5 gates open this year for about a week. The lake is high but not to bad. With all the rain the lake is very muddy! Tks for your post! Oh I live close to Laurie. LOL
