We are driving south this winter instead of going by boat. We went to

What is the maximun allowable draft?

IIRC the controlling depth is supposed to be 6 feet, but when we went
through last year, they told us that a boat with 7 foot draft had been
through and was ok.

I went through with a 5'2" draft and bumped on logs several times. No
damage, but they're there.
