Yea a lot of folks don't realize that the old "beach" shoal is still there, but really is a shoal/sandbar now instead of the cool beach we used to have. Saw a guy hit it pretty hard doing about 15mph or so a few weeks back.....knew he was an idiot before he hit that considering that's a no wake zone. Plenty deep if you approach from the north, most people using the beach area near the no wake sign now. There was a story in the Times Picayune in Feb or so talking about the proposed plans.

Proposed plans are:
Redredge the mouth and part of the shoals in the lake to rebuild the beach.
At that same time there is going to be a rock wall placed at the south edge of the channel that turns to the right when you exit the river. Its going to curve with the channel and go far enough to cover the mouth from waves. Should be hell of lot easier picking up when you get a south wind.
Lastly they will be taking grown cypress trees and placing them I believe on the south side of the rocks. There actually used to be cypress trees out there, I recall on the shoal at the mouth there being stumps.
These are the plans from the Tchefuncte River Foundation encase anyone was wondering, when they start I haven't the slightest idea.

I think that the old beach/shoal/sandbar is what I was talking about. I am not from that area, so I was not aware that you could approach from the North and navigate between the shoal and the current beach. I tend to be over cautious and when the water starts shoaling, I stop my forward progress. How wide do you suppose the channel is between the old beach and the new beach?
