In front of the dam was a line of orange drums to keep stray boaters away from the hydroelectric plant topworks. Near the end of the drums was a point with a buoy sitting on top fully 15 feet above the water (ice) level. The lake is currently down 20-25 feet. I've heard interesting tales about sailing and racing on Lake Dillon and other mountain lakes. Strong gusts coming out of valleys and dead spots behind points, etc. Gotta be on your toes if you're drifting along with a chute and sail into one of those gusts. :o Whole different kind of sailing than what I'm used to. Lake Dillon is home to the Dillon Yacht Club, the nation's highest at 9017 feet (http://www.dillonyachtclub.com/). Club has never been open when I'm here during the winter. All the boats are, of course, hauled out for the winter.
