here you go Brian...........hey, you get the switch pants??

 

[Big Kahuna]

hey Gil, will they let us park in the grass at Smith Lake Park or we got to part at the boat landing and walk a mile??

 

[GIL]

the grass area u r talkin about is blocked off by BIG rocks-but-if u r at park lookin at water-just to the left of water slide there is 1/2 mile of shoreline that u can pull right up to. I myself am going to launch ski's from the shore in that area/to heck w/the boat ramp, helps to have a 4wd.

K.
is that in the no wake area?

 

[GIL]

No-the only no wake on that end of the lake is directly in frt of boat ramp and it is approx 50 yards wide right now-everything in front of park is wide open as well as the slu?sp? in front of Speegle's-which is just around the corner from the park. I am gonna cruise to the park tomorrow
evening to do a water check-there was still plenty on Sunday-not sure how much further they are gonna drain the lake-so far so good-dam did not run yesterday and was not runnin this am. And I will also drive from park/camping area to shore line to be sure 2wd vehicles will not have any problems gettin to the shore line-
if someone has a ski tote w/a hitch hook up-I'd be glad to bring the John Deere to use to launch ski's for those w/2wd that don't wanna use boat ramp.

Not to rain on your parade, but I still don't think the " park authorities" (a- holes) will be cool with you launching anywhere other than the boat ramp. I got a warning ticket from the good officer Cook for launching in the spot you're talking about. I did not even back into the water, we carried the skis by hand. I would have a talk with someone important affiliated with the park and get their ok before trying it. Good luck.

Dam Dog, Is this gonna be worth the trip?

 

[STEELDOGG]

You can still pull the truck down to the edge of the water like last time. Just look around good before launching ( by cart). I would say it is worth the trip without a doubt.
