Was nice and relaxing Sunny day swimming, and just floating around.. Shooting the s##t with good friend. Something different for a change.. Suprised more people wernt back there with familys. Was thinking to self would be a nice spot to spend the night and anchor. And best of all it free..

I go in there to anchor all the time. It is a great spot to spend a few hours. Very calm, relatively quiet and still lots of action to watch. We usually go in there to grill some bugers before heading out to the moot or gull or whatever. good spot to spend a few hours in the middle of the day. i have never spent the night there but I would imagine that it would be a good locale.

 

[speedfreak]

I go the often. The only thing that sucks is that it's 15+ ft. deep, so there is no standing if you want to swim.....

 

[spacelord]

Is the water clean enough for swimming there? I've heard some nasty rumors (and they may be just rumors!) about the water not being so clean there.

 

[damn yankee]

I go there quite a bit, it's nice and calm, and I don't get hassled by anyone, or have to pay to tie up to the dock/wall. Bobrob, we should raft up sometime.

 

[bobrob]

Iam free this sat to if you want.. just give me a call.. Or come by Fri after work we can discuss it over a few beers and a mud slide.. Any one else in area welcome too.

 

[MONEYSHOT]

We used to dock our boat at one of the houses back there! I think that area is great. We have been looking for years for the right house to buy back there. Like it better than actually being on the lake.

I used to all the time, and have spent quite a few nights there. With this boat, my anchor doesn't hold in the muck and weeds though.

Yours hold ok Bob?

 

[bobrob]

I wouldn't stick my head in the water back there. When my daughter was a newborn (she's 16 now), we used to putz over there from where I was keeping the boat over on Circle. She was too small to go out on the lake and it still gave us some boating time. I started getting a lot of painful ear infections which I attributed to the water. Have heard rumors that a lot of the older homes in the area bypass the septic tank and dump directly into the water. Never went in the water there again after that.

Most if not all of those homes SHOULD be on the new sewer systems by now, shouldn't they?

We've looked at homes in that area and all were on city sewer. I believe it was mandated by the state years ago. Maybe since the time you're talking about?

We've been back there anchoring and swimming a few times, but never really knew anyone that hung there. Plus I agree that the depth is an issue for families with small kids. No way for them to stand so they either float uncomfortably or Mom and Dad have to constantly hang over them. But a nice quiet place nonetheless.

I wish we could find a house back in those canals or that bay!
