In September, 2003, a boater reported that he hit a submerged object just north of light #18 heading towards the Barber’s Pole. I went to this location. I searched for about 20 minutes before I found a wooden piling about three feet below the surface. Normally, a boater would pass 20-30 feet west of this piling on their way to the Barber’s Pole. Also, lake was lower than it would be for most of the boating season. The water’s depth at this point was about twelve feet. I took a photo of the piling and sent it to the Marine Patrol. It had been removed by the following spring.
