[QUOTE="264Magnum, post: 481292, member: 141"] [COLOR=Blue]...or The Lake that Never Was. This is Optima Lake. We made a quick trip out there while deer hunting to see the area. We assumed it was an actual lake, not just a misleading name. Apparently the ground sucked down the water faster than the river could fill it. It was finally abandoned in 1966. You can hunt this entire place, which is a very weird feeling walking around a vacant campground with a rifle hoping to jump a deer out of a thicket that used to be a park. One thing that really surprised me was the almost complete lack of graffiti and vandalism. Boat ramp [attach=full]65242[/attach] [attach=full]65243[/attach] Ground where the lake would've been. Those are deer tracks in the road. [attach=full]65244[/attach] Parking lot [attach=full]65245[/attach] Where the lake should be [attach=full]65246[/attach] Bathroom [attach=full]65247[/attach] Picnic area [attach=full]65248[/attach] [attach=full]65249[/attach] Entrance to the main campground [attach=full]65250[/attach] The "lake" [attach=full]65251[/attach] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
