There is a shallow flat area in Dale Hollow lake that is usually 2 -6 ft deep and you can see it's a old hill top cemetery but no head stones... locals say it was an unmarked slave cemetery and the graves were never moved so the bodies are still there. When you float over it and look down you wonder what their names were and how long they have been there.

Thats way to cool theirs nothing like some good obstacles when boating while sipping on suds.

when do they let the water back in?

AND why do they let it out for winter?

Not sure when they let it fill back up but I was hopeing to get there this weekend for a test run. Might have to go to Ceasers instead,unless its down as well.
