The draw down to winter pool begins after Labor Day

With the lake level's expected fall as we head into fall and winter, much debris will collect along the shore. If we have a big rain, the level could rise quickly and carry that debris back into the water. So, please, use caution.

In addition, the lower lake level also exposes subsurface trees, mostly along the limestone shores that once made up the wall of the canyon that the Dix River sat in (and now contains the lake).
