Lake Berryessa.
Near the dam on the southeast side of the reservoir is an open bell-mouth spillway, 72 feet (22 m) in diameter, which is known as the Glory Hole. The pipe has a straight drop of 200 feet (61 m),[4] and the diameter shrinks down to about 28 feet (8.5 m). The spillway has a maximum capacity of 48.000 cfs (1360 cms). In 1997 a woman was killed after being pulled inside the spillway.[4]
Not even a "no fishing" sign?
ReplyDeleteThat hole is scary!
It IS, Jay. I would have though some kind of warning signs, difficult as that might be to accomplish.
