Lots going on today ... hehe.
I just got back from the lake - yes, with a camera.
Joe, you are exactly right. I had been misinformed when I called the State Park Office (hardly surprising, considering they don't take the reservations there). The South Campsites are electric only. There is water access at the shower building. The North Campsites have full hook-ups - but NO SHADE !!! The South Campsites have water views & trees (especially the far south end).
Doran, you'll be a long way from your boat if you tie off overnight. That cove doesn't come in as far as it looks on the map you posted ... the water level is pretty low & the outlet side is high. Unless we get some significant rain, I don't expect any change in shoreline between now and then.
Brandon, the Corps of Engineers has floating courtesy docks at the ramps. You'll have no problem tying off the boat and parking the truck. They are floating docks, so the GT's and CV's rub rail will most likely sit below the wooden edge - make sure you bring bumpers.
I measured out two good beaches - both in Buck Creek. The shorter beach gives us 340 feet of sand and is 120 feet from waters edge to the start of ground cover (tall grasses & scrub). The other beach is nearly 1000 feet, about 80 - 90 feet deep from waters edge to start of rip-rap. I'm going to upload pictures now and will post them shortly.
