I agree Troy…..they once drew down Toledo Bend quickly for a dam repair and our two boats were stuck on dry land for six weeks…..thankfully it didn’t happen again……..there was normally seven feet of water at our boat house for reference….

It is from the winter draw down, Jeff. I wish they didn't do that!

This is great, my parents moved to western Louisiana on the Toledo Bend Reservoir and I vacationed there for many years while on leave from the Navy…..seemed like we always had something to do living on the lake….
,Separately, the water appears low in this picture Troy? Normal draw down or rain shortage….I’ve read all the stories of the drought stricken Mississippi River nearby….thanks in advance
