Lake Denton




Yesterday I went to photograph to now empty, Lake Denton in Wisconsin. The heavy rains and floods in the Midwest this week have been causing flooding all over Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. The build up of water, knocked over trees, etc…crashed through one of the 267-acre lake’s dams and it just completely drained. A couple houses were washed away and others simply split in half. Lake Denton was created a little over 80 years ago and is a major resort area. Since the lake is gone, they are offering a 50% discount on most everything if you stay at a local hotel. So it is your chance to get a deal on Tommy Barlett's Ski, Sky, and Stage Show, minus the ski (no water).
