I asked this in another section. Maybe I'll have better luck in this section. Anyone know how far it a boat ride it is from lago vista to the main portion of the lake on lake travis in austin?

I've never clocked it, but I would say it probably takes about 45 mins to an hour if you just go point A to B with a cruise around 30 mph. I launch from Mansfield dam and have run up to Pace Bend a couple times.

I guess it depends on what you consider the main part of the lake. I was thinking from where I launch at the dam as the main part, but if you just want to get up into Devil's cove to party it's probably half that time.

No worries Betik. I looked up that look and I'd probably need a guide on that lake.

Sorry to jump in, but do you really need a guide for Ouachita? I was thinking about taking the wife up there for a long weekend.

no not at all. I was messing with James because we are planing gathering on June 9th and he can only make either Ouachita or Lake Travis, so I was trying to entice him towards Ouachita. I will tag you on that thread.

PS. Ouachita is known for random rocks, so staying on the "channels" or with a local person is not a bad idea.

Well I'm going to the power boat poker run in July. But that's set. It was my back up to bimini. But if I can swing it I'm going to ouichita.
