Title: Kent lake conditions
Post by: dartag on March 20, 2012, 03:34:36 PM
Drove around the park yesterday and today.   Water is very low,  must not have closed the dam at Island lake yet.  Did see a couple boats out but it must be tough to launch with the low water.  Ramps were not in at the west launch.  There was a really nasty smell coming off the water.  Hopfully it is just all the mud exposed  to the sun.

I have been checking out the boat launches on a few lakes...Today I road my mountain bike down to Lakeville lake...It appears that all of the lakes are very low.....

That lake would be scary in low water.   Lots of sunken trees and stumps.   Love fishing the one end where the trees come up to 3 feet under the surface.

If you don't mind me asking, were abouts in that lake are the sunken trees and stumps.  Ive fished the lake a few times, but never have run across this spot.

most of the bays around the lake are full of stumps.  Looks like they cut the trees off before they flooded the lake.  If you want to get an idea of what the lake looks like now is the time to take a drive out there.  If you have a bike the 8 mile loop is a nice ride.  It follows the lake and there are some nice viewing areas.  Take a hemlet because they are required.
