Let's go back in time.
The day the lake & Canal nearly went dry. The Boats all set in the mud and required a huge crane to lift them out of the canal and place them on a trailer so they could use them in another lake. You could walk around the end of the pier without getting your feet wet. Why you asked did the water go down? We had a contractor who dammed up the western lake and pumped all the water out so they could remove problem plants along the edges of the lake. They finished the project with the exception of removing the dam by Memorial Day. A resident on the lake who thought he was the Mayor of the lake wanted water in his lake for the Memorial weekend and demanded the contractor removed the dam. So the contractor pulled the dam and the water raced back into the lake but in doing so it cause the entire lake, east and central, to equlize as the water in the whole system went down 1 inch per hour until it all looked like the picture above. Thankfully in about five weeks heavy rain brought the whole lake system back to normal. The highlight of the project was watching the crane lifting the boats out of the mud and putting them on their trailers on the nature trail, one of the boats was a party boat with no motor and was, and still is in the canal but at the time there was a 55 foot tree next to the boat. The crane had to lift that boat over the top of the tree before it could be put on the trailer. There were several boat owners who didn't have a trailer so the just left them in the mud until the water returned enough to float them again.
