Anyone know if the water is high enough to access the nature preserve area way up the lake?

Even when it is normal, it's sketchy. I had to get several tracks following my fishing buddy to get a good path back there. You will drive in some very strange paths, and I typically brush up next to the reeds at the intersection past the entrance sign for the sanctuary and metal pole. I always sidescan going back, and the bottom is scarred with people who got off the safe path. If it is lower than I am used to, prob even more dangerous. I pretty much idle past the bridge all the way back. When you go past the bridge, the dogleg to the left is very surprising. I decided to do some livescope at that corner all the way across to the point, and that area is full of standing trees. And pretty much everywhere you see water has big stumps.. Best advise is to drop the trolling motor and work your way back and try to save a safe trail back there.

At 1.9ft low this year we did $15k worth of damage to my partners boat…. another Worth tournament regular did about 10k damage to his boat this year as well. Today we are at -2’. I’ve been making that run for 15 years now, you better know exactly where your supposed to be. I see people all the time in areas that make me cringe… if they only knew what was there. Metal and concrete chunks don’t mix with fiberglass, nor do 120 year old petrified stumps in 2’ of water.

Used to run on pad all the way up there about three or four times a week back before the No wake buoy’s were put in. It made you pucker but we kept doing it.
