The Monticello Dam’s is
the largest morning glory spillway in the world and its located in in North
California. The funnel-shaped outlet next to the dam allows drainage when the
lake level is high with a rate of 48,400 cubic feet per second (1370 m³/s) and
a diameter at the lip of 72 feet (22 m). The eerie appearance of the morning
glory spillway in operation attracts visitors, and when the spillway is dry the
outlet downstream is popular with skateboarders.
