After another hour's march, when the shimmering lake remained at the self-same distance, I began to believe.
The lake remains in operation, with some retirement community development along the shorelines.
The small lake in front of the house still remains, although now obscured by mature trees from the main road.
Consequently, the lake may remain with a negative K and be unable to support fish for many years.
Although the house and large lake remain, the park is now a shadow of its former self.
In pre-historic times, the area was a huge lake, of which only three small lakes remain today.
Through early 2008, the lake remained well below normal levels, with large portions of the lake bed exposed above the water line.
In the larger depressions, permanent lakes or ponds of water remain.
The park facilities are long gone, replaced by imposing mansions during the 1920s, but the lake remains to the present.
The sawmill has long since disappeared but the lake remains.
