It has never filled up to the extent they originally planned. I haven't been over there in quite a while, but you had to drive about 3/4 of a mile to a mile from one of the boat docks to the water front at that time. It got so low I heard you could walk across it in the middle, but think it HAS gotten more water recently. Never really heard the part of people wanting to make money on lake front property - it was the opposite that I always heard - the ranchers that were forced to give up their land for it always wanted it back. I know a few years ago when it never filled, someone (the landowners, I think) got it placed on the election to "de-claim" some of the land as state property and let the original owners re-purchase it. Even without water, that election went down something like 90% against that idea. It DOES make a nice state park and hunting area even being low on water. A lot of people out here think pumping the Ogallala acquifer down with so much irrigation has really changed things from the way they were years ago (when a dam at that location really COULD have probably filled up a nice lake). Lake Etling out west of Optima in Cimarron county ran completely dry a year or so ago. Still - out in this area - all it would take is one of the real gully-washers that comes up every so often and dumps 8-15 inches at one time to completely fill it in one swoop. Howard
