Looking at the overhead picture of that cluster**** at the sand bar is enough to keep me far, far, away.

I do not think so at all. I believe if we were all a bit younger it would be a regular hang out for us. Not my thing now but 15 years ago absolutely.

Default It's not for me, but feel free to enjoy it

I prefer to get away from the crowds when I'm at the Lake, hence sandbars - and the Dive - are not my cup of tea. For those of you who find it fun, enjoy!

That's exactly the reason I would stay far away! I probably would visit if I was younger but I would never be a regular there at any age. Just not what I go to the lake for.

Looks like it needs a 1,000 gal + holding tank with overnight pump out service

I doubt everyone is using the bathroom facilities. It's pretty nasty if you really think about it. You're swimming around in pee!

The Braun Bay area would be about 500,000 cubic feet of water area (~800'x200'x3' deep).

There are 7.48 gallons of water in 1 ft^3.

Thus there is over 3.7 million gallons of water in the Braun Bay area alone.

Let's assume you have 1,000 people there, and they each pee .5 gallons over the course of the day, that 500 gallons / 3.7M gallons, or a diluted amount of .013% pee.

That is of course not accounting for any additional dilution caused from currents through the area (natural, or just caused by boat movement).

Meh, not really in my Top 10 list of concerns about a sandbar.

You would conclude that but they close beaches down for duck itch and I think there are far fewer ducks going in the water around the beaches than what's going on at that sandbar.
But that's where we have a difference of opinion.
If you're OK with it then have at it, but keep your mouth closed. I'll pass.

They should rename Braun Bay “Lake Titticacapeepee”

I think my timeline is more like 25 years ago - at least that's when I was hanging around Braun Bay and West Alton as a regular. I don't care how much dilution there is, now I call them Urination Cove Guess I'm an old fart now but have at it if that's what you like. It's all good

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent
