Flow
There are currents on the lake that are caused by the movement of the lake level by the release of the dam in the spring and fall; but these currents are more pronounced in areas like the channels into the back bays. Out on the broads the currents are usually wind driven. We call them the drift factor rather than a current factor. I'm sure there are places on the lake where the water moves more than in others due to natural spring activity or river/stream influence. There are no tidal flows like the ocean nor do I know of any natural currents due to the moon, gravity etc. Hope this helps.
