Another water hole that's deep is in the middle of Winch Hill which I actually ran for the first time last Sunday.  It's so off camber that the water almost came in the cab on the side lowest in the rut.  The floor boards are pretty far off the ground on my truck too.

This surprised me. Ran Winch Hill on saturday, and it was a good 3'+ deep.

Yeah, I was following Eric (94Krawler) on 40s and watched in total shock as his tires dissappeared into the depths.

Even though it's green, trail D is one of my favorites. Just because of the amount of water holes in it.

Any time I 'm leading a group of smaller rigs/stockers, I run them heading towards the pole line. When I hit the "entrance", I hit it pretty hard to push as much water out that I can. Going the opposite way tries to push the water uphill and runs right back down in it. Leading a group of bigger rigs, I'll lolly-gag thru it just to leave it deep ;O}

I've been up there 4-5 times this year (July, Sept, and just as recently as Nov 14-15) and the hole on D entrance has never been that deep? I've run it each time out on 1.5" lift and 32" MTs in my JK. Usually run it both ways, each time out b/c I like D also.

On 11-15 me and a buddy in his bone stock FJ cruiser ran the mud pit hole across from "Yes Its Deep". No way this is 5' either - more like 2.5 at its deepest point on that day.

The "horseshoe" yes its deep is still deep though. This swalled another FJ I run with in September before he even got much of his back end in the hole. He has a 3" or so lift and 33s only so guess I didn't expect him to get through. LOL. He said he made it through and had video of it at one point though - maybe last year?

We ran Yes Its Deep on saturday on our way through the park.....i was disappointed.  Id say it was 3' deep, but its not soupy anymore, just a deep hole with a solid bottom.  Milkshake is worse.

The whole on trail 2 where it comes real close to the pole line is bad with ice on it.  If you're the first one to break through the ice, I hope you have one heck of a bumper.  I broke through last Saturday and the ice was a good 5 inches thick.
