In late May Icicle Creek runs high as it flows east 32 miles from near the crest of the Cascade Mountain range to meet the Wenatchee River at Leavenworth. Barring a sudden weather event the flow won't be this high until this time next year. By August the flow of water will be just 5% of what it is now. The current water flow is near normal, but drought conditions are forecast. An abnormally dry and warm March and April has left area snowpacks half their usual amount.
