What Rainbow Lake needs

  • Repair the dam and headgate

  • Dredge the lake to remove 4 to 6 feet of silt, increasing water volume and improving water quality

  • Add pipe downstream from the lake to eliminate water loss from seepage and evaporation

  • Minimize the amount of water the irrigation district needs to withdraw from the lake during irrigation season

  • Maintain a high water level in the lake 

  • Ensure the lake has enough water for safe boating and good fishing 

  • Maintain the stock of fish in the lake to ensure the eagles, ospreys, and other birds can feed and live at Rainbow Lake

  • Make the lake safe for all wildlife and people
