PINEDALE, WYOMING – June 29th, 2020: High water levels expected on Pine Creek near Pinedale after recent precipitation.
This morning, Sublette County Emergency Manager Jim Mitchell was advised that the inlet into Fremont Lake was currently reported to be flowing in over 1870 cubic feet per second into the lake. With recent and upcoming rainfall, the water input into Fremont Lake will be above peak levels for the fifth time this spring.
Higher than expected levels of water into Fremont lake are expected to make Pine Creek rise. We are advising citizens to exercise extreme caution around Pine Creek drainages. Water levels can rise without warning and be very dangerous. The expected rise in water levels are expected to last through at least Thursday July 2nd. Sandbags are being prepared and are available for property owners who are experiencing flooding.
