Has anybody been to the mouth of the Tchefuncte at the lake recently? I know I read articles about the sandbar and beach being restored and was wondering if that has started or been completed yet? Thanks

I was out there 2 weekends ago, and It looked bad. It was the first time I had seen it since it pretty much completely eroded away. So I'm going to say it has not even stared.

Nothing had started as of last weekend. Water was high as hell from last week's rains and the asphalt road had 2 to 4 inches of water over it all the way to the boat launches.

To me, the biggest problem there is that the water is too shallow to get anywhere near the beach. When the lake is low enough to expose the sandy beach, you have to anchor 100 yards out, I wish they would dredge that area. In fact, I wish they would go ahead and dredge the channel south of the lighthouse, it gets a little thin there sometimes.

Nothing physical has started on the restoration as far as I can tell. (I'm sure there's a pile of planning and permitting that has to happen before any restoration takes place. I'm not trying to make sound like NOTHING is happening.)
To the poster concerned about the water depth: the inlet between the east bank of the river and where the peninsula used to be is about 6' or 8' deep in the middle. The main channel between the west bank/boat launch side and the old peninsula is about 20' deep. (Or maybe my depth finder needs to be replaced!). The is, or was, substantial shoaling on the west side of the peninsula about 80' or 100' into the river.
