When the future lake bed was being cleared, most of the trees were NOT burned; they were bundled together and chained to the ground. Some old-old-timers will tell stories about the excitement of having a quiet boat ride interrupted by the site of a large tree breaking ot of the water like a missle. Those stories might be more myth than truth. But what is not myth is the fact that not al that long ago a company started harvesting those trees that have been under water for more than 90 years now, and made some good money selling the wood. That's something they couldn't have done had the trees been burned.

Lesson #1 in Lake History (for everyone, not just the OP): Just because something happened before you were on the lake doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
