Wow! Is that a Tidal river ?
No it is a creek joining the licking river. They dredged it out. Made a ramp. With the side pool of water there you see. It is nice if they take care of it. Has a jetty that blocks waves from barge traffic. I admit barge traffic is not alot. But they are there.
It is not a tidal situation. There is barge traffic on this river. It isn't the river level is to low, it is lack of maintenance of the actual ramp. There is 2-3 foot of mud on the actual concrete ramp.
Deal is when it floods it is a side pool and the silt and mud settles. Happens every spring. Then they dredge it and it is good for the summer. Well this year they just didnt do it. Water in the river is at what they call normal pool. It is still 2 foot above normal pool now. Flood been over for months and months fish are done screwing now.
When it is cared for people launch 30 foot boats from here.
They wait till june 30th to dredge for the fish to spawn. Uh come on guys the fish hatched and are adults now.
