BYOP and boat!
Our family enjoys this spot every time we go to the lake. It's nice and sandy and on a hot summer day the water can be really nice. You are within viewing distance from Russell Dam and when they are pumping water, it can get get down to 58 degrees in the channel! We wanted to put out a family friendly cache that you could access by boat and wanted to make cache that small children would have fun spotting it.
Here are some interesting facts about Russell Dam:
-It takes 138,000 gallons of insulating and lubricating oil to operate the generators. The oil is continuously recycled inside the powerplant, saving millions of dollars each year
-The concrete section of Russell Dam is built of more than 1,100,000 cubic yards of concrete and the earthen embankment contains 3,350,036 cubic yards of dirt
-The depth of the lake behind the dam is approximately 165 feet
-The height of the dam is 210 feet and the earthen embankment is 195 feet high
