One of the few lakes we haven't hit. Thinking about the 4th. Any thoughts?

Its going to be a zoo. Good luck, lakes super low...

Best bet is prolly going to be launching out of tuttletown and cruising up the stanislaus river arm, assuming you are looking for good water...

Don't even try it. Tuttletown Launch ramp is closed lake is the lowest its been in past years, cove's after the bridge are dangerous with trees sticking up from the water worst we've had in recent years

I was going to suggest Clementine because its a awesome lake with boat only camping and super nice beach where you camp, but they dont allow dogs. Great place to be on the 4th, they limit the number of boats on the lake so you have to get there super early..

Other lake that might not be super packed that doesnt have bad camping is Jenkinson Lake.

Both the lakes I mentioned are way smaller than the above listed but the crowds dont normally get huge.
