I'll try to help you out a little, and if I'm in error, hopefully more knowlegable people on the site will help us both. If you're heading upstream toward the dam, stay on the left side past Fall Creek. There is a pile of rocks under water at the mouth of fall creek that make it pretty shallow during no, or low, generation. After you have passed Fall Creek you will see a white house on the left. When you see the house, cut an angle across stream toward the boat ramp. When you reach the ramp area stick to that side past the condos and look for a rusty set of metal stairs in the weeds on the right bank. When you see the stairs, cut an angle toward the left bank and look for a log that kind of looks like an alligator with its mouth open. Head straigt for that log. When you get over to that side you're pretty safe to motor up to lookout. From there to the dam stay pretty much in the middle. If there's no generation, or only one or two, be very careful. I've dinged more than one prop by not keeping a close eye on the bottom. Hope this helps.

Any word if, or when, they plan on replacing the dock?

Now that's funny. Reminds me of the Brad Paisley song "I'm Gonna Miss Her". But I love to fish I spend all day out on this lake And hell is all I catch Today she met me at the door Said I would have to choose If I hit that fishin' hole today She'd be packin' all her things And she'd be gone by noon Well I'm gonna miss her When I get home But right now I'm on this lakeshore And I'm sittin' in the sun I'm sure it'll hit me When I walk through that door tonight That I'm gonna miss her Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

As retired law enforcement maybe I can make a few suggestions that would help. First of all, sexual activity of any type in public is illegal and if witnessed by law enforcement officials those involved can and should be charged. Contact your local prosecutor's office and express your concerns that local law enforcement is not doing enough to solve this problem. In the past I have been a part of 'sting' operations which involved either observing this activity, or being solicited for this activity. Either way it is a crime and generally results in a guilty plea and payment of a fine. Usually one sting operation is sufficient to take care of the problem. An important part of the sting is the publication of the person(s) names in the local papers. What these people fear most is EXPOSURE! If local law enforcement will not, or cannot do their job, there is one thing the regular fishermen can do that is usually almost as effective. When you observe the persons you suspect are 'cruising', write down their license number, a description of the car and of the person driving. Take it from me, most of these people are 'in the closet'. They are married with children, and many occupy respectable positions in the community. Seeing a person jotting down their license number will scare them away for a good long time. The solution to this is to get local law enforcement to conduct an investigation and make mass arrests, then publish the arrests in the local news. If they will not a letter writing and telephone campaign to local politicians will probably get results. Be persistent. Good luck.

Any information on when, or if, Fall Creek Marina will re-open.
