I live in Nugents . It is about 10-15min boat ride to the lake . From nugents to to the RR bridge the water is 4-5 ft.

stay in the middle of river from RT 2 Bridge to RR bridge and you will be fine. Once under the RR bridge it is all slow zone to the lake (thru downtown PC). Stay inside channel markers thru there and you will be fine also.

I have a 27ft IO and have had no problem with water this year yet..Just keep eye out for a dead head every once in awhile if we get alot of rain.
