I would get a little closer to that last point where the highlines are. lots of stumps out in the middle of the lake in front of the cooling towers. Past the point there are a few stumps on the left that I stay right of and go between them and the last two stumps you can see on your right with rebar on them and you're good once you get past that. I would take it easy the first time through with all the rain we are getting right now and would probably idle before daylight in the area of the cooling towers. ^^^^^ Listen to him.

You can run until the first powerline and idle until the next powerline and then run on plane to the intake

How far can you run in the other direction? I wouldn't. Some can, but very, very few. Heath that posted on here is as good as they get there and he doesn't run it.

I started fishing that Lake the day it opened. The lower end of the lake is tricky now, especially when the water gets up. I know the way to run all the way to the back but "WOULD NOT" suggest that for anyone! Just idle or follow some one. I really want to go there right now with all this talk!

your red line that you drew has your first turn and second turn take you directly over some timber. Hugging the points midlake as you've drawn is correct, but if the lake is up 3 foot as folks have said there are a few large trees in the area where your red line stops. They're visible by about 6" at normal pool... but not when it's up. Diagram I did for our club last year. Obviously just a rough guide.

I idle the path they took and hit stumps. the only time I've ever ran to the north end was in a flat bottom going about 15 mph.
