Description: Yes, it's a pitiful sight these days. The springs dried up and the water slowly evaporated leaving boats and landings high and dry. But the lake may make a "comeback." The bed already has been surveyed for restoration. It may get an asphalt bottom and city-metered water. Then, it will again look like 1945.
