I wrote about Lost Lake Park before (2016) and it includes
some of the particulars about the park. http://midsierramusing.blogspot.com/search?q=lost+lake
The photographs I took at that time can be compared with what the park is like
now.
My purpose for writing
again is that the high waters of the San Joaquin River have caused Fresno
County to close the park and to keep this park closed for months. The park is
located below and not far south of the dam at Millerton Lake. When the water is
released from Millerton Lake, the flow can fluctuate considerably. As of this
writing, Millerton Lake is only about 80% of its half million-acre foot
capacity. There is still concern about rapid snowmelt and that is why Millerton
Lake remains below capacity.
While the park gate is just off Friant Road, the park itself
and the river are a considerable walk from there if the gate is closed. I took
the opportunity yesterday morning to take some photographs that demonstrate how
much park flooding has occurred.
I took the photographs with the Sony A7R2 and the 24-70 f
2.8 GM lens.
