We called ahead and the dock master assured us of "plenty of water." We first started plowing just as we passed the tied off harbor dredge. We plowed a lot more trying to reach the dock. He assured us the water was forecast to rise and we'd have enough water within minutes. We eventually worked our way free and backed all the way out, cleaned mud out of both strainers, and tied up at the very nice town floating dock just upstream. The pool was 4' over normal pool, and dropped overnight instead of rising as forecast.

We just talked with another boat that had a similar experience in even higher water. I'd suggest being very leery of any claims about water depth and instead ask how recently they'd dredged--locals informed me it's been years.
