The enormous dump that California residents refer to as the “glory hole” is now visible again for the first time since 2019!!
When the lake's water level rises above 440 feet, this 72- foot wide loop drain prevents flooding by allowing excess water to flow 200 feet directly into Putah Creek.
This process, called 'spillover, makes the lake look like it has a giant hole in it. Water flowing into the mouth of this large pipe makes it resemble the morning glory flower, which is where it gets its official name: Morning Glory spillway.
