Jon, it's your quote that got me thinking that there may be another one this fall

Going this time of year would be the best bet since it calms down after summer ends.

According to local regulations and how WSP guys understand them, you need a boat and a flag ONLY if you dive more than 150 feet from shore.

Anyway, boat traffic is not bad at all since it got colder, though I'm still trying to stay away from swimming during weekends.

Not super deep but lots of fish and not a lot of boat traffic- forget about a full sized boat as their "launch" is a flight of stairs to get aorund DNR regualtions.
Btw, did you mean this Beaver Lake ?
