From that other post. I have only fished there once years ago and was a co-angler but Def looked interesting all those stumps!! Reminded me of the Red River and going into White House with a stump every 4' and needing a pushpole to help get off of them!

C130- If you are going to put your boat on Lake Palestine do yourself a favor and spend a little money on one of Tom Maynes map cards with trails. What he said

The road bed in Kickapoo can certainly cause plenty of damage to a boat if you don't know where to cross. However, the thing that scares me the most about Palestine is there is a ton of stumps out there with rebar sticking out of the top. People think they are helping by driving rebar into a stump and putting some pvc on it, but when the next flood comes the pvc floats off. In a year or so you have a rusted boat killer coming out of a stump. Tom's chip is great for getting around the lower 2/3 of the lake. I would HIGHLY recommend buying it. That basic map above is missing lots of dangerous spots. There is no trail in Kickapoo, Flat, or Neches. No map chip will help you there.

Typically you would go just past the first "underwater" bridge and immediately cross over. Now that bridge isnt underwater now, and I havent been up there in recent months, so I couldnt tell you if you can actually get across there right now or not. It is shallow crossing to begin with and the water is down a foot and a half right now.
