| (Above) Pathfinder Reservoir Flows Over the Uncontrolled Spillway at Pathfinder Dam, June 19 - Inflows to the Pathfinder Reservoir from a combination of snow melt and a severe rainstorm increased reservoir water levels to capacity, which allowed for water to be released over the uncontrolled portion of the spillway for the first time since 1984. The dam is located 45-miles southwest of Casper, Wyoming. | |
