Default McGregor Lake CLOSED ???

Was hoping someone can confirm this. I was told that McGregor has shut down the lake to boating and /or launching due to the hazardous low levels. I know Newell has chained off there boat launch due to this. Anyone confirm?

I just call Kinbrook PP at Newell. They said the boat launch is open but do not recommend launching boats

One half is open but there is a 3 foot drop at the end and then large boulders and a gravel bar withing 6 inches of surface. You can launch an inflatable or maybe a hovercraft.

A kayak should be OK at the extreme right side of the ramps.

I was at McGregor on Aug 4, and I saw a large Mastercraft ski boat being pulled out of the water. I asked how the ramp was, and he said a little rough, but he didn't have any troubles. He was in the south lane of the ramp. There were other boats out and about.
