Re-filled in January, 2005 in a huge flood. Highway 56 was raised over six feet in order to keep
cars from drowning. Several houses caught in the flood now sit in the middle of the lake. Previously dry for more than 100 years.
Since the flood Cedar city is taking more steps to ensure that more of the runoff that filled this lake is used to recharge ground water. Water that reaches the lake bed is rendered useless.
