I go in there with my 'lead mine' drawing a lot more water than you. One year I almost made it through to the pond at the N end - not sure what I would have done if I'd gotten there? Larry, I recommend you go for it - it's really a special place. If I can turn around my 30' with 5' draft, you shouldn't have any problem with the amas pulled in. You might even make it all the way through and out the N end! Bring your leaf blower? When are you going?
