Water Hazards
Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 9:20 am
I pulled up these points for a thread on LC.com, figured I would share them here too since they work has already been done.
Most of the places I have placed on maps I got the GPS coordinates from Google Maps and are only for places to go and see... I never thought of marking hazards.
Off the top of my head I would say be careful around:
* 37.0702837,-84.6926801 - Land Mass/island in Pulaski County park area https://www.google.com/maps/@37.0702837 ... a=!3m1!1e3
* 37.0077523,-84.7012122,870 - Fishing Creek - Needle Point is always a spot to watch how you cut the corner, then the lake is up it can have a looong piece of it 1' underwater that you can't see. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.0077523 ... a=!3m1!1e3
* 36.9386016,-84.6210331 - SF Party Cove. I would watch for trees below! https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9386016 ... a=!3m1!1e3
* 36.7924213,-84.5298397 - South Fork -Starting at this point on the SF I would be aware there are boulders below. First on the sides but then even in the middle the further south you head
* 36.970165, -84.793066 up White Oak Creek (they used to have a bouy that warned of a rock hazard before the draw down. Not sure if it will be there again or not) https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
* 36°56'52.4"N 84°58'51.3"W - Wolf Creek The island here will be smaller and at night you may not notice it as well. https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
* 36.952160, -85.009580 in Wolf Creek I could have sworn there was a rock hazard here but must only be at the lower fall levels? https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
* Maybe I'm thinking of up Lilly Creek 36.959023, -85.029283 - https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
* Always be aware of objects below from 36.899121, -85.027805 to 36.892051, -85.040208
* In the mouth of Beaver n Otter be aware there is a large island and this mass 36.871043, -85.050336 as well
* Also in the back of the mouf.. 36.860258, -85.036544 to 36.857979, -85.037284 can fool some.
* From 36.858099, -84.997861 - 36.855077, -84.992969 on into Beaver Creek is a point to be aware of. You can easily cut through but be careful https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8540385 ... a=!3m1!1e3
* Up Indian Creek almost to 76 Falls there is a higher water cut through that into the year as the water lowers becomes more of a hazard of trickery. 36.798015, -85.113671 https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
* and NEVER forget about Camp Earl Wallace. It should be much smaller now but it is still there and the water levels drop into the summer and fall.... From 36.948277, -84.946580 to 36.951063, -84.944585 https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
PS, I found the SS Hal doing some work clearing some GIGANTIC soon could have been floaters...
That's about all I can come up with. If you know of others please share!
