Lake Pueblo water levels are receding due to low snowpack

AI Summary

Lake Pueblo's water level is getting lower. This is because there wasn't much snow this past winter. State officials are warning people who visit the lake to be careful. Boat owners say they need to pay more attention to where they are going. Last year, the water was about 4,880 feet deep. Now, it's around 4,873 feet deep. The water could drop even more as the weather gets warmer. This means some parts of the lake that are usually underwater might become visible, like islands. Boaters should watch out for hidden things in the water, like old tree stumps. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said that low snow means the lake's level will go down this summer. They also said that even though they mark hazards when they can, changing water levels can show new dangers. However, one good winter with lots of snowmelt can fill the lake back up. People on the lake will need to be careful and adjust to the lower water levels.
