Jim, It's a long ways from the river at the base of the bluff. I think in extreme high water events the lake may connect to the river. When your hiking into Thomas Eddy the lake is about 200 yards on your left when you get to the bottom of the bluff. There also is lots of water on the right side of the path(road) to the Eddy.
