RDR Main Gate Keypad Information
SNRA owners can receive e-mails for monthly updates to the Guest/Contractor code for the Running Deer Ranch Main Gate keypad.  The code is changed the first Monday of each month and should be given to guests, contractors or service people coming to your property.  Contact Leo Kennedy at kennedyrir@gmail.com to be put on the list.  Make sure to include your lake property address or location.
You can also contact Leo to have your name added to the Owners’ List on the keypad at the Main Gate.  Visitors can call your Lake property by scrolling to your name and you can open the gate for them by pressing the “9” on your phone.   Available for local phone numbers only (local cell phones are OK).

At full capacity, the lake is 18 miles long and has 165 miles of shoreline.  It covers an area of 5,370 acres and holds 377,000 acre-feet at max level.  The max capacity is allowed by May 1.  The source of water is runoff from the surrounding hillsides during the rains.
As a point of reference on the lake elevation levels (above sea level)

• 825 ft = crest of dam (max. level possible during a Probable Maximum Flood)
• 800 ft = top of spillway, max. level allowed
• 786.5 ft = Town Creek lower crossing passable
• 748 ft = drought level (min. fish and game releases reduced from 25 cfs to 10 cfs)
• 740 ft = start to effect private launch ramps
• 730 ft = lose private launch ramps
• 727.7 ft = bottom of RDR launch ramp
• 687.8 ft = min. pool, no release to Salinas River allowed (22,300 AF remains, of which 17,000 AF can be used by SLO County via the Nacimiento Pipeline Project)
• 670 ft = physical min. pool, lowest elevation where gravity flow from outlet works no longer functions

Some statistics on lake release levels at the dam:

CFS (cubic feet/sec)Gallons/Day3522.6 million  (0.01′ drop at 800′; 0.02′ drop at 750′)325210.0 million (0.13′ drop at 800′; 0.22′ drop at 750′)
