Signs Update from Patrick Waters


Board, Members, and Friends,

I have not written in a while because I don't want to overwhelm you with emails and because, well, there hasn't been much good news to tell you about.

However, I believe that the following constitutes good news: Jim Miller has finally conceded that allowing swimming and boating on Spillway has become a nightmare. Since all the representatives from the different agencies deny putting up the Anglers Only signs, Jim said that we can put them up if we pay for them (of course), put them up, and make them look like the rest of the park signs. He did not limit the size.

The one below is at the Upper Parking Lot and we have two at the Evening Hole Bridge with the Red Zone signs added. We are installing them at every access point between the Spillwy dam and the Evening Hole bridge. The ones at Cold Hole will not go up until after the new bridge is put in.

The Rangers are anxious for them to be up so they can tell people to leave. You know, the same way they enforce the game laws.

Stay Cool my Friends,
Patrick Waters

I can't believe anyone would *want* to swim or boat in Spillway... that's just dangerously stupid IMO. It wouldn't be too long before there's a fatality...

Agreed! Every time I see someone go into the water there I can't decide whether to turn my head and walk away or move closer and be ready to somehow pull them out.

With those kinds of sharp rocks, it's like asking for someone to split your head/leg/arm/etc open with an axe... seriously...

Good thing I drink Coors Light or PBR. I guess I am safe!

Thanks! Think it'll work? There's always the group that think the rules apply to everyone but them... and they love to pick a fight...... geeez..... Hopefully they'll have an impact.

Newbie to your page here. Wish I had found it before by first time at BB this weekend. Beautiful park. Had a real hard time fishing yesterday due to all of the swimmers. Probably wont come back in the summer months anymore, but def want to come back this winter and do some fishing when the water is a little quieter. Hope those signs help out, it was crazy this weekend and I'm sure this wasn't even a busy weekend.

If you all were serious about all this, you'd be out picking up beer cans off the banks of the LMF river to pay for more signs and hire more game wardens... 😂

Cigarsnjeeps, Welcome to the forum.

Hank, I didn't see any beer cans last time I was up there, although, while at the end of cold hole at the bluffs, I did manage to cleanup a rats nest of 8 bait holder leaders and around 20 - 30 yards of line. All of this was a foot from the edge of the water. I could just see some kids or animals playing and getting tangled up in them. ALOT more of the same down at spillway also.
