The lake is rarely at full pool- it usually stays about 6 inches lower, but last year it seemed to be an inch or two higher. We have a 24 foot pontoon, and the last three years  we have always been able to get under. We do have to take our top off, and our captain seat is low.  Our neighbor has a tritoon and he doesn’t have an issue either. 

I did hear a rumor, Alabama power was looking at investing in the bridge to make it higher. They own ALOT of land on that side, and are going to convert the land into lots to sell. With a higher bridge, the property will be worth much more. This was something I heard about 2 moths ago. 

You need to be careful when going under, and always have your boat in idle. It is very low, but with the right boat it isn’t that big of an issue.
