Bullfrog Marina Lake Bottom Elevation?

[Rivergoer]

At what elevation does the lakebed where Bullfrog Marina was formerly located go completely dry? Will it dry up sometime this Winter?

Seems like it would be a good opportunity to do some major Trash Tracking if dumpsters were made available by Aramark or NPS.

Looking back at a May ‘22 post by @sparkin5280 it looks like at lake elevation 3,520 it was about 15’ deep 125’ from the shore. If true that would put the lake bed at around 3,505.

I agree with @Rivergoer. If you look at pre-Powell USGS maps, the creekbed of Bullfrog Creek opposite the modern marina is somewhere around 3500. Sedimentation over the years may have reduced that a bit, so 3505 might be right on the mark. As you got closer to the Colorado River channel in pre-Powell days, the creek had a pretty steady downward grade, and met the Colorado River at about 3350.
