ROWING DURING HIGH WIND TIMES
During high winds, especially out of the south, rowing along dam usually has the best water. If skiers are not out you can use Red area "High Wind Shared" area.
However if skiers are out stay east of "Signs". You can transition north and use the west bay just north of the ski bay. It's ideal to row in during high winds.

SHARING MARINE CREEK LAKE
Rowers primarily stay on East side of the Lake. (Stay out of Ski Club bay, located on south west corner of lake. If ski club out stay east of signs located in center of lake - note the yellow circled area in the map below).
Also make sure to watch for triathlon club swimmers while in the bay our dock is located. They swim from the public dock just to our south, go around the point and stay close to the shore on the east side. (They usually drag a orange/red buoy)
