This is a waterfront campsite. The lake begins just after the trees.
The dam owner took the water level down to make repairs to the spillway gate in 2006 - but timing being everything... that drawdown was delayed til fall after the recreation season dies down.
The low water level did have a negative impact on a couple wells, and one cove still reports no peepers or bull frogs since. The lake was brought up immediately after the repairs were completed - impact was minimized as the safety issue was fully addressed.
Today we question the need to maintain the water level low as we have heard of no threat to safety. The dam owner still owns this dam, we ask you to honor your committment and service to this community.
Uhm If i may ask, to the secretary. Does anyone at Interface have a name or phone number to get some information on this subject? I myself have a boat in storage and soon will have to make a decision on what to do?
