Greens Basin

[Peter]

As a kid, my friends and I used to pile into the outboard and go out to explore the lake. We'd pack a lunch, drinks and portable CB radio to touch base with the parents if needed. I remember the longest trip we took was to Greens Basin and found a large rock sticking up in the water. We'd drop anchor and swim over to the rock to eat our lunch.

Does a rock similar to this still exist? Maybe there are tons of these in Greens Basin and I'm just remembering one. Thanks!

If it is the true Green's Basin we call it " Big Rock". If it right outside the basin there is a rock called T-rock that people hang out at.

yes the rock is still there but it seems that gulls or some large birds camp out on the rock so unless there has been a real hard rain you wouldn't want to hang out if you get my drift :(

Peter-
I took a couple photo's of the two rock's in/near Green's Basin. Maybe one of the photo's will bring back memories. One has always been barren while the other one has vegetation growing on it.

Go for it, take a boat to it and just sit for a couple hours. Maybe bring a sub and a bag of chips and have lunch. :D

Next summer, DPG! Will take my two girls with me.

Years ago had my grandson's Cub Scout troop up our place camping out, had 6 or 7 kids. One day we took two boats up to Green's Basin and spent most of the day on the rock. Just found deepest water around the rock, drove up, other adults held boat while we unloaded coolers from the bow, luckily it was calm and anchored boat. Had floats and kids spent time going between boats and rock. Kids and adults had a blast. Rock was spit spot when we left.

Hey is that considered an island?:eek:Maybe. Here's how Bizer (http://www.bizer.com/winislan.htm) defines an island:

What is the dividing line between a large rock and a small island? When does one island become two? Well, this is our definition; your results may vary: It must be surrounded by water at high lake in June; It must have vegetation (otherwise it's just a rock); Man made breakwaters do not count as islands, BUT we do count former natural islands where fill has been added to join two land masses; There must be at least a three foot height difference between the island's tallest point (including vegetation) and the surrounding water's shallowest depth (e.g. if the surrounding water is only 14 inches deep, the island must rise at least 22 inches above the surface).

Thanks Don. Looks like the first pic does not qualify but the second might.
