Rainbow Bridge access?

Thread 'Rainbow Bridge Access at low lake level?'

My crew has houseboat trip for early Sept and wondering if anyone knows with the low lake levels how is the access to Rainbow Bridge? It has been several years since we went there and never this low. I recall hiking maybe a half mile when the lake was close to 3600', not sure what to expect now. Appreciate any guidance since several of our group are a bit older.

Read through latter part of this post.

Two workable options: Beach on the sand delta at river’s end or drop anchor further out and swim in wearing PFDs.
 
Update--We went to Rainbow Bridge on Sunday 9-28. We were able to beach just beyond the dock. There was space for several boats there, but we only saw 2 others plus two pontoons full of Antelope Point employees doing the hike.. I am guessing they were doing day off activities.

While there was a nice sandy area to beach, it will be difficult to reach when the lake drops 1-2 more feet.
 
We were there last weekend. As mentioned there is a sandy beach to park just beyond the docks (enough room for 4 to 5 boats). You can still park at the docks and then either swim to the trail head or use the walking docks, step off into shallow water and walk along the west side of the canyon, then across the river bed to the trail. This is what we did. Some places there was deep mud, but not too bad.
