It flows 46 miles (74 km) [2] to its confluence with the Sacramento River in Butte County. The creek's elevation declines from 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above sea level at its head to 120 feet (37 m) where it joins the Sacramento River ...

During the recent drought experienced in California, the water levels have been declining from the period of 2011 to 2015. This is due to the decreased amount of precipitation and snowpack melt water received in the Mokelumne River. The drought caused the water levels to reach low levels in late 2015.
The downside will be a greatly enhanced risk of river flooding as snow melts later this season into the spring, mainly from the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada into California's vast Central ...
In contrast to most of southern California, the Big Bear Lake region normally receives significant winter snow because of its high elevation. Snowfall, as measured at lake level, averages 72 in (180 cm) per season; upwards of 100 in (250 cm) can accumulate on the forested ridges bordering the lake, at elevation above 8,000 ft (2,400 m).
