Dangerously Low Water Levels on Table Rock Lake Ground Boats

The Missouri Water Patrol takes KSPR on a tour of Table Rock Lake to us how accidents have increased as a result of unusually low water levels exposing dangerous obstacles.

BRANSON, Mo. — Table Rock Lake is full of people but not water. The Army Corps of Engineers says it's dealing with "extremely unusual" conditions due to the widespread drought.

Here in the upper end, I have been watching people drag their children through water I know is 6 to 8 feet deep with stumps. I cringe and pray..

I was fishin the devils back bone and they were tubing all around that danger marker like it wasn't there

There are lot of hazards past the danger marker on the devils backbone, too. Lots of standing trees for quite a ways past there. I'm really suprised there is not a string of bouys through there.

Saw a guy pull a tube inside the bouy point across from Roaring River this morning. That water is but a few feet deep and there is a woven wire fence and barbwire along with steel T post all over that runnout.

They are pullingt skiers and tubers all over Brushy Creek over the tops of that pole timber that is inches not feet under water.

May be kinda crude to think this way but maybe it will weed out some of the morons on the water.

Natural Selection at work kinda thing.
