I have wondered this my self. I understand the gate for the people who have houseboats but moving gate would solve this problem for loading in and out no matter what lake level is. I know marina is shut down for the winter but would be nice if someone could ask about this when owners return in spring. I am not a young pup anymore or are the people I fish with. I would be willing to donate to the cost of moving gate to be able to get in and out of the boat safely . Not trying to stir anything up but this would be a simple fix for all people coming to holmesbend to enjoy a day on the lake
