>      Vancouver Lake is very shallow, with a mud bottom. Not too 
much to recommend it, imho. Lackamas Lake was on T.V. the other pm.
It seems more attractive physically, but water skiing and jet skiing 
seem to be allowed.  Neighbors around L.L. apparently are opposed to
the construction of another boat ramp, and feel their lake has enough 
activity already. I'd try Lackamas in the early morning, or maybe 
during the winter.
