Warnings
Active boat traffic in the landing zone. Drawdown exposes submerged timber and rock shelves. Bridge and pillar jumps have killed people (2002, 2024) - do not jump from the bridge.
Access
Access via The Cove Palisades State Park day-use areas; stay well clear of boat traffic lanes and marked swim buoys.
Best conditions
Summer, when the reservoir has warmed and boat traffic is easiest to see and avoid.
