Smithville is run by two separate government agencies the Corp of Engineers and the Clay County Parks Department. I called the Parks Department to ask if I could drop some brush and they really didn't give me a definitive answer. They told me they prefer that nobody put anything in the lake with out permission. I then asked who I could get permission from. They told me fist that I would need permission from the Corp, then they said I would need permission form the Parks Department, then again came back to say that I needed permission from Parks and Corp.
I've heard of others on here that have dropped brush in the lake. I never asked if they had permission or not. Mofishmngr who works the lake should be able to answer that question. Send him a message and post his response when you get it.
