Lake Contrary was once a vibrant & popular lake filled with swimmers, boats and fishermen
As of May 2014, the lake is in total dispair having a water depth of about 3 inches
Due to a lack of water, the lake is drying up, fish are dying, the lake has shrunk a great deal in size as can be seen in the above photos
The Corp of Engineers have lowered the river level which also effects Lake Contrary
It would cost over $2,000 a month to pump water from the river into the lake
The city will not annex the lake and the county will not help take care of it
Photos #1-6 were taken by Randall Huston in late May 2014 with his radio controlled quadcopter
