I would highly suggest idol only right now. Best I can remember from before the lake filling up, the ramps go out a pretty good bit, I believe the same distance on each side but I would still be careful. There is stuff showing that hasn't been seen since the early 2000's if not earlier. I am quite sure that there is stuff now that is just under the water that normally is not an issue hence idling everywhere. Looking at the lake which I did yesterday, it is somewhere around 6 feet low.

It's closer to 10ft low, the ramp supposedly goes out as far as the back of the floating dock, which was setting on bottom before this last rain, may still be.

Lol, my wife read me that article and I came here to update this thread. We closed the drain valve last week and contractors were there Friday, think the rain ran em out, repairs should start tomorrow. Expected to take 1-2 weeks. Ramps will remain closed until water comes up. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/10/full-30997-27945-depositphotos_12492675_stock_photo_water_faucet_with_dollar_dripping.jpg)

There's been plenty of empty 20' and 21' boat trailers parked in the lot the past two days, so doesn't appear to be a problem. I understand there's a tournament out there Saturday.

Ramp is slick, I would not have pulled my Phoenix boat & trailer out without 4-wheel drive.

Think I'll load up the ol' Buster boat and check out Mountain Creek. I can hand launch it anywhere.
