Re Devil's Gate Dam: They haven't drained it, the catch basin just fills with sediment. I think they have dredged it out a few times. There are people who would like to remove the dam and return the Arroyo Seco (dry wash) back to a less seco condition. I think there is another renovation proposal stalled in the regulatory process. I've driven over it many times. It was a favorite shortcut to get from Altadena over to JPL or La Canada HS, which are both on the edge of the park by the reservoir. Since Pasadena pumps water from wells a sandy catch basin is not all bad. It certainly is heavy and adds a lot of load on the dam.
