Green River Lake Levels

[BTW... when you say that far down the lake what you are really talking about is that far up the lake. The river is upstream and the dam is down stream. GRL flows from south east to north west. When traveling up stream you are going south east. I know that may sound confusing but the easiest way to remember is head waters upstream, dam and tail waters down stream.[/QUOTE]

It works the same for the Robinson Creek arm of the lake, lower Robinson is at the dam and upper Robinson would go to slightly before the Hwy 76 bridge at summer pool. I wouldn't go up farther than that if I valued my lower unit.

So you think I can make it up to Knifley Road (HWY 76) at current levels?

Your original post was about the hair pin turn way up the river. You can easily get way past the bridge at HWY 551 Knifley Road on the upper end of the lake. Now you are asking about HWY 76 Knifley Road which is on the opposite end of the lake in Robinson Creek. The water must be over summer pool to get a boat to Knifley Road on HWY 76.

I am talking about where 76 crosses the north end of the lake. Google maps calls it Knifely road just before it comes into RT 70. Are we talking about same end of the lake? If so, how close to 76 can I get? Thanks for the help.

Look at Sweetwater's post about Robinson Creek. That's the area you are talking about. I can tell you that there is no way in heck I would even consider taking a bass boat anywhere near the 76 Bridge. The creek is very narrow there right before the bridge, not more than a creek underneath the bridge flowing between two rock walls. I've seen a few boats a good ways in the distance from the bridge during higher water but I've been too chicken to try myself.
