Starting on Monday, September 9, no public access will be allowed within the Owens River Gorge from Long Valley Dam to the Control Gorge Power Plant. The public is advised to avoid the area due to high water levels with strong currents and hazardous conditions. Please take all warning signs and barricades seriously!

LADWP will release higher-than-normal water down the Owens River Gorge in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Mono County. This riparian flow will help improve fishery and wildlife habitat along the 10-mile stretch of river between the Upper Gorge Power Plant and Pleasant Valley Reservoir.

Real-time data on flow levels are available online: http://wsoweb.ladwp.com/Aqueduct/realtime/lvrealtime.htm
