Let me answer that for you as Bob and his family are off to Alberta for a visit today. In a word, no. There are many weedy flats along the edges, but if you are roaring up to The Narrows (and beyond) stay in the middle and pin it.
Every body leaves from the marina at Sunset Bay and has to pass through a narrow channel out into the lake. Then it is a staggered start at 50+mph. Very well organized. I am boat#6 so if you see me it will be because I move way the heck over and let the faster boats churn up the waters and get there first.
The lake is generally 18' deep with about 6' of water along the shore lines. Once through the narrows, the water deepens to about 60' in Deep Bay and deeper yet in Baseline bay. Be careful between Ship Island (south of The Narrows) and the shore. Big, prop eating boulders. I can email you a map if you pm me
