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. BRC ********************************************************************** Bradford R.
