  On 06/17/2021, at about 02:00 p.m., this vessel, operated by Operator, was cruising in the middle of Park Lake, closer to the southern half, located near Soap Lake, WA in Grant county.
  
  According to the Operator as she was travelling at the above location, the vessel ran over a shallow area, about 40 feet from a small grassy island.  The area was not marked and could not be seen from the water at a reasonable distance.
  
  The patch, roughly 10’ x 5’, could not be seen by a boater until they were practically on top of it.  The vessel hit this patch damaging the propeller, rudder, and hull.  There were 5 children in the vessel, and they were towing a wakeboarder.  Only minor scrapes and bruises were caused by the impact.
  
  After the incident, Operator spoke to the campground and local repair shops. She was told that a similar incident happened just a few weeks prior, and that the lake was notorious for such shallow spots and accidents.  Operator reported that there were no signs, she was not warned when paying for the slip and the spots were not marked in any way.
