Anybody here ever fish the lower lake at Painted Rock Dam? I used to when I
was a kid.
It had been several years since I was there, so I decided to take a look at
it on my way home from Phoenix the other day.
It was a dust bowl. The road down to the campground and launch / picnic
area was barricaded, and all Icould see from the road in the main body of
the lake was dry blowing sand.
I'm glad for the people of Phoenix that they won't have as high a risk of
draught due to the newer height of all the dams in the Phoenix area on the
river system, but I am sad to see a wonderful lake from my childhood gone.
