Lake Denton Open Or ????

[fldiver1]

Does anyone know for sure if Lake Denton is open or not? I was told it was closed in Nov. then told it was open a few weeks ago. Finally called the Highland county Sheriff today and a lady there told me you CAN NOT dive from the boat ramp anymore. You would have to take a boat and dive from that???? She said that was her understanding anyway. Does anyone know for sure??

fld1,

As of yesterday, there is a designated parking area across the street from the ramp. The ramp is for loading and unloading only. You can enter the water from the ramp.

The temp was 68 degrees

Thanks for the info. Going to try to sneek out there sometime soon. I heard there was only parking for 8 to 10 cars, is that right?

Yea and the parking is on the hill covered in shredded wood, so a four wheel drive isnt a bad idea.

 

[fldiver1]

It has to be better than the deep sand I had to park in on that hill a few months ago! Isn't it?

 

[Cheekymonkey]

Honestly no, b/c its just on top of the deep sand.

 

[fldiver1]

Ohh...great...So have you been out there lately then? Anybody hassle you? Sheriff ? Residents?

 

[Cheekymonkey]

Nope, I spoke to the sheriff before I went, but if your not inbetween the two signs of parking, and you park on the side, big tickets.

There is a sign for overflow parking on the corner, but its not exactly an easy spot either.

 

[Capt. Ty]

No hassles - that's why they set it up that way. If you want a paved parking lot you'll likely end up paying fees.

Heck, I wouldnt mind that as I am sure other people wouldnt mind either. Pay a small fee for a parking lot and restrooms. I am sure the residents wouldnt mind then either.
