Shallow area going into padre canyon on right of Gunsight

[joe farnsworth]

Can anyone tell me if the shallow area going into padre bay is passable. The one on the right side of Gunsight canyon that accesses Padre and Kane. Thanks

Unfortunately no. I'm thinking 10 more foot or so.

I took a look at a couple of Lake Powell "Shallow Depth" Maps 3600' & 3610'.



At 3600' Shallow Depth, your going to walk.


As you can clearance above 3610' Shallow Depth, you can make it through. I'd want 3615' water level or better, and then I would go through slowly with a sharp look out.

And here's a couple of Google Earth images, from when the lake is at 3598 compared to 3609...
