UPDATE: https://www.kniakrls.com/2019/05/29/update-lake-red-rock-increasing-outflows-friday/

— original post —-

Reservoir forecasts for Red Rock Dam outflows are expected to be increased to 50,000 cubic feet per second by Saturday, June 1st. The Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds located below the Red Rock Dam, including Howell Station and Ivans, will be closed to the public on Friday, May 31st until further notice. It has yet to be determined when Howell Station and Ivans Campgrounds will be reopened. Corps of Engineers campgrounds on the upstream/lake side of the dam are still accepting camping reservations – contact the National Recreation Reservation Service (NRRS) online at www.recreation.gov or by calling toll free 877-444-6777.

The South Tailwater Recreation Area and Howell Station Landing will remain open at this time. Boat ramps that are currently usable for lake access include those at the Whitebreast Recreation Area, Marina Cove and Elk Rock State Park (just off of Highway 14). Please note that parking areas at the Marina Cove ramp are very limited during times of high water. All other boat ramps on the lake are closed due to high water levels. The North Tailwater Recreation Area continues to be closed due to construction on the hydropower project.

The latest forecast (image above) as water levels increasing to 776 feet above sea level, or 34 feet above normal pool by this weekend.
