Camp ground is open during season, I am guessing still closed. The lake is low and we had a lot rain yesterday I am guessing gonna dirty things up a bit. Narrows, state, baileys, and port Oliver are useable. I have no idea about the peninsula ramp (never used it this time year). The fish are biting well before the storms yesterday.

Per: COE water report Barren got 1.18" of rain in the 24 hour window of Tuesday to Wednesday. The lake is still a lot closer to winter pool than summer pool. It did rise 1.68 ft in the last 24 hours. This time of year when there is no leaves and very little green foliage the runoff tends to get dirty more quickly than when there is leaves on the trees and lots of green foliage. Although I have no first hand knowledge I think its safe to say the feeder creeks and river are probably dirty. Winter pool is 527 and summer pool is 552. On 4/3 it was 535.87

Here is a link that gives good info on Barren, Green, Noiln and Rough.
