Due to historically low water levels, vessels launching in the park will encounter hazardous conditions because of sediment and historical debris. Four-wheel drive is required for all launching and retrieving of vessels. All launching and retrieval of vessels is also undertaken at the operator’s own risk. Park staff are working daily to clear debris as lake levels level out. Visitors are encouraged to report any hazards or concerns to park staff.
