Uncovering the history of this location has been a little challenging, but from what I can find, dams were constructed in the 50s which created this lake and also wiped out what was once a main road connecting major cities.

The new highway was constructed and what remains of this highway is sinking into the lake whose entrance is hidden behind road blocks and a very large and foreboding ROAD CLOSED sign. The imagery of mankind's construction being reduced to rubble by the various elements of nature offers a unique atmosphere.

Love it! I live near a lake that was an entire town at one time. They made a dam and wiped out the town, all the roads are still there in the water!

Pretty much that same idea was tossed around when some friends wanted to film a horror movie in the area. I believe the token Native American burial grounds was as well
