I’d never be able to shut up about the woman who was murdered there if I was visiting.

In 1997 a woman was killed after being pulled inside the spillway.

Jeeeeeeeeesus!

Found some further info. There’s a little video of the water flowing in too:

I mean yeah I guess.. pretty disappointing that its just a man-made spillway, I got my hopes up that it was some crazy natural phenomenon.

I know, that's a horrific way to die knowing the full time that you're dying that you'll forever be tied to a thing colloquially referred to as the glory hole.

Depressing that it almost never looks like this anymore due to climate change. Last time was a year ago, before that it was six years without the water level hitting spill height.

edit: this is what it looks like most of the time.

That thing is nightmare fuel. If you swim in the vicinity of that you are either suicidal or a fucking idiot.

Why isn’t there a safety grate on top to prevent larger objects like wood...or people from being sucked in? risk of clogging?

I'd classify that as more of a Hell Mouth than a Glory Hole.

IDK... It looks like it sucks pretty good, and it's wet. Sounds like a glory hole to me.

Used to live near a pond with something like this. Not nearly as big, and was square, but could also climb down and see the underside where the water fell down and formed a stream.

Was pretty cool.

Well Alice, either your husband has a bold sense of humor or he's not a great listener.
