El Dorado Lake

My guesses on open boat ramps hasn't been very good lately Don. Shady Creek ramp was locked up hard yesterday but open water outside the wave breakers. Boulder Bluff ramp was open and not much ice around the dock either. Haven't been around to all the park ramps today to see what the single digits are doing. I'll check the ramps tomorrow afternoon and post a report...or call ya'! :Rofl:dono:popcorn

Basically, the extreme mainlake is open and all of the arms and upper ends are frozen. Might be tough for tomorrow...

Thanks for info Craig. Much appreciated.

main lake was ice free, shady creek area was iced up, the boat slips was open and around some of the floating docks.
