At last.... WATER!!!

Yep - I was down on Saturday and saw that the lake had come up a bit. I
hope they get my riprap installed before it is full again :-)

Lake Murray here in SC is finally back up to near full pool. It's
been down for over two years as they reinforced the dam. I was out
last Saturday, and we've got our lake back!


I like lake Murray, We use to live in Lexington and used that marina by
the dam to launch from. It was great because it was so close to the house.

We were there when they droped the lake to kill the hydrilla that was
choking the shallows, did that work out ?


You mean the state ramp on the West Columbia/Irmo side of the Dam?

I there visiting my son who lives in Lexington County (West Columbia)
and I took a ride up to Lake Murray - I was amazed at the difference
between last August and now - totally different lake than it was last
summer.

No this was not the public ramp (we once meet a guide there to take us
out) The ramp we used was in a small marina on the Lexington side. For
the life of me I can't recall what it was called. The Drive to it was
about four miles from the dam or somthing like that(past that little
store). They have a duel ramp setup with one finger peer on one side.

We lived off Old Cherokee and the little marina was closer to the house.
I think they charged me 3 bucks for every drop and pull out of there. It
could get pretty tight when it was busy.

When one went out on the lake from there you would pop out of a cove
about half way between Bomb/Dolittle Island and the Dam. We would run to
the far end to the point where it was starting to look like a river
again and head back on some outings.
