I don'th know how long your life has been, but as late as the '60's the lake still had a 30 ft winter draw. Tha's 30 feet EVERY year, and it still filled up every year. The biggest difference is government interference in the process. The dam was engineered and built for a 50 ft drawdown evey year. Tthat is why Ben Russell could buy all the land that he did, when he did, for as little as he did. Waterfront property here was considered useless scrub because of the wild fluctations in the lake level. I can't wait to see/hear all of you guys go nuts when they start building the HorseShoe Bend dam.
