Have you ever heard of a lake that was formed to protect a city from floods? This isn’t any ordinary lake. This is Buckhorn Lake. Let’s take a walk and learn its story. Buckhorn Lake is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. You can go swimming, fishing, boating, or just relax and enjoy the scenery. However, the lake’s story has its darker side. Buckhorn Lake dam was built in 1960 by the Army Corps of Engineers to help control flooding. It doesn’t sound so dramatic but, it came with a dramatic price. The lake covers a former community named Bowlingtown. It was a small, rural community with a rich history. They were forced to relocate and their homes were lost and they were barely given any compensation. Imagine walking through this beautiful lake, but knowing that underneath its surface are the foundations of a lost town, abandoned homes, and a history that was swallowed by the rising water. It is a story of sacrifice, loss, and the resilience of a community.
