    Default Paint Creek Lake


    It won't be long. Last week it was frozen and today it's clear in spots.

    I've unloaded many times here at winter pool. It is very shallow at the ramp but can be done. My last two boats have been deep v styles and I need to wear hip waders to get in and out of the boat. It's too shallow to use the floating dock.

    Again thanks for the update, that's good info. I always thought you could load/unload with no problems during winter pool....without hip boots.

    How much farther out does the pad go? I'd be scared to death of my trailer going off the end of the pad and tearing something up.

    I've never gotten off the pad as far as I can tell. I've backed in with water half-way up my rear truck wheels to unload. I have 4WD but have never needed to use it here yet. The ramp blends in with a sandy bottom. I've seen the lake drawn down for maintenance a few years back and there are no drop offs that I know of near the ramp. The creek channel is quite a bit farther out in the lake. The sand gets washed around from year to year. Usually the middle of the ramp is the best place to unload during the winter draw down.

    That's depressing looking.
    I stopped by East Fork the other day and I noticed some sections of it were starting to refreeze there as well.

    The ice has been replaced by an abundance of muddy water. All ramps are closed at this time.
