I guess my question is, should I be worried about my boat getting through a shallow spot to get to the dock? For example, there is a place in Morrison Cove. My boat has a draft of 20 without engines, so I bet 25 inches max with the engines trimmed up to be safe. For any of those who own a house on the lake and have a dock, is it tricky to get there? Do I need to cheek it out with my boat once the season starts?
Anything helps, thanks!

We looked at a house on Lunt Road which is on Morrison Cove. My memory is that there was not a lot of water back there. My recommendation would be to get a paper Bizer map and scout out the area (especially rocks). This time of year won't be the issue. When they start drawing down the lake in the fall will be the problem.
