Lake Minnewashta

[DiverQueen]

Local action on Minnewashta.  Sept 1, 08 I dove (tried to surface swim to an area deep enough to get a couple feet down before getting into weeds) from the second boat landing in Minnewashta.  Well...I guess I can't say nobody warned me that there wasn't much to see but weeds and waves.

With the waves coming across from the lake to the landing, it was an easy drift dive back to shore.  The weeds were at about 6 feet down,  but the vis was about 2-3 feet.  You had to drop down to see the bottom and try not to get caught in them.  I did actually see a couple of fish. 

We should have gone out in the boat and then found a deeper spot.  There were plenty other boats out there on Labor Day!  Even the Carver County Water Patrol!  One boat came a little close to the dive flag, but other than that, not bad!

May have to check it out in Spring before the weeds grow!  Or boat to deeper area mid-season.  Really though, the water was somewhat clear!
