We need gangplanks here at home to reach some of the boats because we can't get them close enough to the docks. And then there are some boats that we take a BIG step to get onto.
Mike measured the water levels Friday morning and says the lake is still down two feet. This will definitely create a need for careful boating this spring. We have yet to get out on the lake to see for ourselves just what this means for water travel, particularly for getting into Cross Lake.
Those of you who have favourite campsites will have to check them out carefully before trying to park your houseboat to make sure you can safely get to shore to tie up there. Those of you who are coming for the first time will have to pay extra close attention to the shoal map and give those areas marked in red a wide berth. Any time you choose to leave the main channels you will need someone on the lookout for rocks that are not marked on the maps because they were never an issue before.
We will continue to post comments on this entry as we keep an eye on the water levels and let you know how much it's come up!
