Rawlins Field Office (BLM) and the City of Rawlins have worked together to revive Rim Lake, a local recreation area approximately seven miles south of Rawlins. As announced in early May, the flow from Sage Creek Springs has reached its highest point in recent years. Because of the high flows and because the reservoirs have been full for over a year, excess spring runoff is collected in Rim Lake.
