How deep is that lake? Just seems like the bank is up there pretty far?

jchief 03-10-2012 11:01 AM

Lake is about 8' deep. There is a "hole" where they dredged out to put the Civic Center that is 40ish' deep if I remember correctly

jchief 03-10-2012 11:02 AM

Where the beach is in the pic is now the Civic Center

true about being 40' feet deep, some of the areas on the north end are more like 5-8' deep, been tubing off the channel on the west side and fell off then was able to stand up, there is an island a lot of times in the winter with a stiff north wind off the channel
