Boaters should be aware of floating debris on the lake, including entire trees as well as small driftwood. Power boating and water skiing are discouraged. In addition, debris frequently collects on launching ramps as the wind direction changes, resulting in closure of a ramp until it can be cleared. Currently waters are slowly receding, however conditions change as precipitation moves through the Mississinewa water shed. All camping areas except for the youth tent area are currently open.
