Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

You can launch a boat from Arrowhead Estates ramp if you're able to back around the curve and down the hill.

What about parking on these ramps?

Would there be any point trying to launch at hickory point this weekend or is the water just too high and running too fast?

Corps raised all 11 gates yesterday evening to 4' now. I'm guessing this is in preparation for the next 7 days of rain that are predicted.

Jim, I'll be glad when the water gets back down to where it was when you took that picture. When we were down on Saturday, the lower level was covered right up to just before the curve up the hill. I waded out about 10' and the depth on the parking area was about 2' deep -- not deep enough to get my trailer in the water to load my pontoon boat. If I had a big 4x4 truck with a lift kit, I might be able to back in far enough.

We might be able to get out on our dock next weekend if we are lucky. But we always have access to my neighbor's paddle boat to get out to the dock. I'm hoping to find some fish around the dock -- we'll be down for the entire week over Memorial Day. Hopefully you'll be able to come down and fish with me some even if I have to come get you on shore with the paddle boat (but you have to have help paddle to get us back out to the dock).

I heard someone say that with all the water flowing from the dam and with the possibility of even more that fishing might be closed under the dam. . . Any truth to that?

It is right off 69 highway at the Onapa exit between Texanna road and Checotah. The water is up in the parking lot but its steep enough to launch your boat there, fourmans cove is straight across the lake from fountainhead marina. EB

The release says you can still walk to the fishing area but have to park at the top of the dam.
