Are you sure on that lane width?? 8'6" is how wide our boats are.

That is what I was told and even questioned it. I do not think I talked to a supervisor. My trailer is actually slightly wider due to having Vee Vee guides past the trailer width. I may call again in hopes to talk to someone different.

Finally talked to someone from MODOT with knowledge. Bridge is presently restricted to 9 ft. 6in. Once opened up each lane will go to slightly over 11ft. Wide. Guard rail previously on bridge are being replaced by something different allowing the bridge roadway to be wider than previous roadway. Bridge crossing should not be of any concern for crossing with boats or RV's.

Looks like it's between Mill Creek and the bridge.

For the most part..basically right next to hwy 13. Hope the weather will be nice..

For this Saturday raft up I really don't care where as long as we're shielded from the main Channel waves. I guess it's never too early to pick a spot so if people have ideas post them. Then as a group we can decide and we'll go from there. I know I'm wishing for warmer temperatures quickly. we'll pick a time when it gets close

 

[Ronald]

Spring branch seems to be middle of the the entire group. Very shielded yet access to get in some water sports etc.

South of red dot

On page 3 I posted a picture of a Cove I found last year. The Cove I found is left of your Red Dot and one Cove over. Great minds think alike

 

[Jim Robeson]

The yellow star is about where the swings are, the red star is where we were last year, the purple star is the Mill Creek area, the blue star is Goobler's Mtn. cove, the lime star is the Cow Creek area and the orange star is the Spring Branch area. Just to give a better view of what areas are around.

Isn't cow creek kind of the "party cove" at table rock?

It can be when we show up!! It has been a big gathering area for some but they usually go all the way to the back of the cove...if you look at the cove between the yellow and orange star you'll see where the back of the cove takes a turn towards the word "Google". Nice place to gather but it gets really crowded quick there.
