Lake Sylvia State Park Dam Being Monitored

State Parks says people living along Sylvia Creek should be ready to move quickly if flooding worsens and stay off any trails leading toward the lake.

Lake Sylvia State Park is shut down as crews keep a close eye on the 100-year-old dam, which is taking a beating from this week’s atmospheric river. State Parks says people living along Sylvia Creek should be ready to move quickly if flooding worsens and stay off any trails leading toward the lake. Teams have been clearing debris, easing pressure on the spillways and handling a mudslide at the park entrance, with water levels dropping about a foot since Monday. There’s no visible damage to the dam, but more heavy rain is on the way and a full inspection will happen once the weather settles.
