ESFAFC The Snow Glacier Dammed Lake is releasing. At this time, we do not expect water levels to reach flood stage on the Snow River, but an additional 1 foot rise of water levels is likely through Friday. As of 12:45PM, the current water level at Cooper Landing is 10.0 feet. Water levels on Kenai Lake and the Upper Kenai River are expected to rise another half foot, cresting on Friday below flood stage. There is always uncertainty with Glacier Dam Lake releases.
