Lake Isabella Reservoir and Regional Recreation Hit by Dry Cycle
More than 1 500 acre feet of water have been drawn from Kern River contracts to keep Lake Isabella above 30 000 acre feet during drought. After a three year dry cycle the lake fell to 15 000 acre feet in 1961, halting recreation and harming tourism and local business around the 570 000 acre foot capacity lake. The reservoir draws over a million visitors yearly and supports catfish, bass and sunfish due to its warm water fishery status per U S Forest Service.
