  • Boating

    Water elevation is receding slowly.  Be aware of underwater hazards that may exist at different water levels.  Always check the depth before using higher speeds, or stay in the main river channels.  Be aware of floating debris in the lake, due to continuing run-off.  Your boat must be inspected prior to launching.
