Default Shelbyville weekend before the 4th

With the 4th being on Wednesday we couldn't decide, but the weekend before it is.

We will stay at Sullivan Marina. Arriving 6/29 and leaving 7/3.

Anybody have any plans yet?

Irish?

Slorider?

I have heard that the lake has come up quite of bit the last couple of weeks. I will be there the weekend before as well. Just found this on a fishing report dated 5/4/12

" Lake level is 597.20 feet which is 2.50 feet normal summer pool; water clarity is stained to clear; water temperatures are in the mid 50's. 1.6 inches of rainfall received recently. "

Irish, yes so far that is the only trip we have planned to Shelbyville. I would like to do another one, but we will have to see.

As far as the lake level goes, the lady at Sullivan Marina that I talked to said the lake is very low right now, but it is coming up. She was not sure how fast, but she said you could only safely launch a small fishing boat from their ramp right now.

Yes, they have the campground, the cabins (suites), covered and non covered slips, and skeeters restaurant/ bar/ lounge. LOL. Skeeters is pretty cool, but definintely not a night club.
