Launch looks great. Half dozen trailers in the launch.
Might try Rip Some Lips guide service. He's on the hill before you drop down to Barrier dam and has a good reputation.

Launch gate now locked on east end. Lake is about as low as I have ever seen it.

Why the draw down?

They use to do a big draw down in the fall, but is was usually still accessible at Mossy Rock Park  :dunno:

They cant fill the lake to full pool anymore. I think its 30 feet lower than normal to start with so it comes down a lot faster. There hasnt been any rain to speak of for months so that doesnt help. Plus I think they have to keep flows at 3500 minimum now so they cant decrease flows to conserve water. It was quite a bit lower a couple years ago. Will probably continue to drop for the next month or 2 until inflows start filling it up again.

Mossy ramp may close too the way its going.

Have they not fixed the dam yet?
I was under the impression they were supposed to fix it back in 2017  :dunno:

Last I heard They did not plan on spending the money to fix it anytime soon. They lowered it to a level that there was no risk and figured that was a better option than dumping money into it for now. If this is the case hopefully they plan on extending the launches.

And it takes out the east ramp for 1/2 the year  :bash:
