We had to clean my mom's pond out a couple of years ago to redo it and had a similar problem with getting rid of the water. What we ended up doing was was using the pond pump to get rid of the rest of the water, after several loads of carrying water back and forth to differents parts of the yard. Maybe you can get a small pump to help remove the last amounts of water, that is if it's more than an inch or two of water. Less than that, I think tipping would be the only answer.
