Silty freshwater truck dive in Lake Hickory.
Silty freshwater truck dive in Lake Hickory.
Snow Creek Truck is a freshwater truck dive in a sheltered Lake Hickory cove, where the pickup rests in soft silt and rewards slow, careful buoyancy. It works best as an easy sightseeing stop for divers who want a simple local outing, but visibility can drop quickly when fins disturb the bottom, so smooth trim and gentle kicks matter.
