Night Fishermen Be Aware !

Just a "heads up" for you night fishermen in the Baxter area... the Corps of Engineers has recently moved the Baxter Campground Swim Beach area and the associated corner floats, boundary marker cables/ropes with floats attached etc. about 150 yards North around to the Baxter Marina side of the Campground point. It now sticks out in the Lake about where old Hwy "H" went under the water and where the old, secondary boat launch ramp used to be located that has now been removed. There are three buoys marking the Lake or deep end of the swim area out beyond the boundary floats and one buoy on each side but it's not always easy to see those after dark unless you know they are there and are looking for them.

Kind of doubt anyone would be cutting the turn close enough to hit this newly re-located floating stuff but it's easy to mis-judge distance at night.

That's a great heads up. I don't know if they will ever get that park open and fixed back up.

So you can still launch at the old H Highway ramp, right?

There used to be two ramps. One; at the very end of "H" alongside of where the old road orginally went out under the lake ( before TR filled up ) and two; a steeper ramp on your right down a short side road as you drive down "H" towards the Lake that is more typically used by most boaters. The ramp at the end of "H" was removed and the swim beach is now there.
