Upper End Water Conditions May 30

[rps]

Some of you may not realize that Holiday Island Marina sits inside the mouth of Leatherwood Creek where it joins the White River. At present Leatherwood is very dingy but not muddy and the ramp is cluttered with debris but not blocked.

If you turn left out of the creek mouth, Beaver Dam is about 14 miles up river. When the corps is releasing large amounts of water, as they have this week, the flow affects the water conditions at Holiday Island. Evidence of that is the fact the surface temperature in the White River channel just outside the marina was 48 degrees at 10 AM today. The water itself is a dingy green clear.

I also want to warn of the debris. Some is scattered near HI. A large raft of lumber, dock floatation, limbs and trees nearly blocks the lake at the powerlines just upstream from Stubblefield and Jolmes Branches.

Past Eagle Rock, about six miles down stream, the temperature was 74.
