Hey Downwind, most the major creeks and coves on the lake have standing timber in them so be careful. Grab a map and it shows all the timber. All of beaver creek, big/little cave, back of Caney etc. is flooded timber and the licking river is the same minus the boat cut and channel but they arent marked. Beaver is all flooded timber but there is a channel marked with bouys you can run. Just take your time if you decide to head up the river, its basically flooded forest, and thick.
