It is silted in to about 7' deep. Water so dirty no weed growth beyond 2'. Don't waste your time. If they can open the dam at the bottom, they need to flush it out.

Ross lake is a nice lake and the fish dont appear as slimey as some lakes. Easy boat launch at the Park right on M-18 in Beaverton. Note that short ramp is on east side of dock. We catch blue gills, perch, croppies and bass right at the dock. Doesnt have a lot of boat action. Happy fishin!
