So is the Park Service is lying when they say you need 3525' to launch a boat? Or is that just for bigger boats and those who don't have 4 wheel drive? I can't believe they got the level above 3525 and then started "restoring the beaches" in the Grand Canyon and brought it down again. Before the Fish & Wildlife service started killing the rainbow trout, it was some of the best trout fishing in the country. I used to hike it every year. Once the "environmentalists" made them stop fluctuating the levels, my favorite beach grew in 7' tall with bamboo. I could not see any difference when the last time they "flooded" the canyon.
