Heard there was quite a ruckus one night at ramp #6 Labor Day!!! Had my jet ski's when the Lake was 16 low, good thing about it though, I now know where to keep clear (tree farms in middle) while in the boat. The flag pole at the Air Force side marina is marked where the water height was back in flood, totally amazing when you look at it, and try to picture that much water!!!

Never been on canyon, but my in laws are building a house up there so I'm sure we will be out there next summer!!

Yes! I was right there. 35 Plus holding to get off water, a guy cuts the line and a fight breaks out. 2 On 1, then car doors open! 4 cops and K-9 unit. Dog had to get the one that threw first punch. I heard that punch land! Crazy night!!!

Link to my 2005 30 Outlaw: Strong performance boat market in Chicago where I bought her, hence the post up there. Would love to sell locally as well.....

Bring this thread back up to the top! My in laws house is done and we are heading up on the sun the 15th and prob leaving wed to be back in time for the outlaw challenge. Never been on the lake any tips on where to go? Any places where u can beach the boat or where the water is wadeable? The house is right by ramp 6, that a good place to launch? Anything for me to hit coming in and out? From the map I looked at the lake seems pretty deep anything else out there that I need to be aware of?

Ramp #6 is a good ramp, it was of the few open at the end of summer last year when water level went below 11.5’ low. It becomes a very popular ramp at low lake levels because it was one of the few open on that side of lake; fights broke out last Labor Day. With that in mind, don’t go deeper in the cove past your ramp, tree farm heaven. Also upon leaving ramp heading out of the cove, do a day run with lots of sunshine, there are still a few trees, until you past no wake zone buoys. My buddy had to use ramp 6 last year with his 42' Fountain, no problems what so ever.

Anchoring: As you leave your cove, where the lake opens up, on your left is a nice sandy spot, never have seen anybody using it though, we could always start an OSO rafting tradition. The cove directly to your north is known as the party cove, can’t miss it on the weekends.

Marinas: Two Marinas with gas, Cranes Mill on the North end, and Canyon Marina directly across the lake from your cove. Canyon Marina has pump out, and also the only Restaurant / bar on the Lake.

Do not go into the furthest most cove, shallow and tree farms galore, this is where the river feeds the lake. You know you’re headed back there by the pump house on your left. If you stay 100’ – 125’ from shoreline, one should not have any problems with water depth.

What else am I missing? Anybody else think of anything.

Thanks for the info!! Eric said you were the man to ask!

Anybody headed out for the Holiday weekend? I'm at Canyon Lake Thursday till Monday.

We were planning to, but the wife got put on bed rest so now that plan is out!! Can't wait to get back up there though.
