Years ago on the Pepacton Reservoir in Downsville NY, a fisherman fell asleep in his boat.  He awoke to the bump, bump, bump the bottom of his boat was making against the spillway.  It was a few inches of water going over the 100' + spillway that drops down over 50' and then vanishes down a tunnel.  From what I understand, he put some effort into rowing his boat to shore.  The City of NY (they own the upstate reservoirs) do not allow motors of any kind on boats.
