May 25, 2010 Lake Dillon is Full - Water Flowing over Spillway

May 25, 2010 - The water is overflowing the Lake Dillon (Dillon Reservoir) spillway. The Glory Hole is the name for the spillway and an alternative path that water flows into the Blue River below the Lake Dillon Dam from the lake. The other path is through the gates at the bottom of the dam. Good levels of Spring moisture and snow melt have kept the level of the dam high and filled it completely this morning. The ice totally melted on the lake earlier this week.
