    Pool 13 Water Level Question

    I was wondering if anyone had any info on what water level is too low to safely run in Spring? I know some areas have tons of stumps and it's never safe to run, but in general what water level would you not risk running on pad?

    Thanks guys!

    If you stay east of the islands - you should be ok. The water is pretty thin so you may want to stay on plane until you can sit it down in a deeper spot. Unfortunately, many of the more productive areas are protected by shallow conditions. The docks at the ramp are not in the water (as of a few days ago). The new vend machine for parking fees was not working. The wind will beat you up ... but it's a day on the water = enjoy.

    Put the plug in... it's getting low in many places. A little rain would be nice.
