 ==== The Lake ====
-Dorena Reservoir is operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers to help control flooding and to provide water for summer irrigation.  The level is raised with the spring rain, starting in February.  The water is deliberately lowered in September and later.  During the summer the water drops slowly ending several feet below full pool.

-In late summer, blue-green algae may appear in places.  This requires ingestion to be toxic and so is most often a problem for dogs.
