Located in northern California, the Monticello Dam has the largest drain hole in the world. A trumpet-shaped concrete structure next to the dam allows drainage when the lake level is high. When active, it is compelling viewing.The drain hole, nicknamed the Glory Hole, swallows 48,400 cubic feet of water per second. The distance from the funnel to the exit point - which is situated in the south side of the canyon - is about 700 feet.

on the town's wiki, they actually give advice to people who want to bike/ skate in the exit side of the drain when it's dry. good to know that some towns still just let people do their thing rather then worry about a lawsuit
