Default Lake Delton- Gone

Went up to the Wis Dells and took some pic's of what was once a Beautiful Lake.....While we were on Power Tour, due to Heavy Rain and Extreme Flooding......The lake overflowed it's bank and washed out the land Area between itself and the Wisconsin River.....the Washout took with it 5 houses and drained the lake in a very short time......Had a Lot of good times on that Lake........That was then and here are some Pic's of now.....Sad.....

The lake looks as it was so full of silt is was only 5 feet deep. Maybe they can clean the silt and repair the damn and put it back better than ever.

Very unfortunate. I spent many a summer on that lake as a child. Reports state that 93% of the businesses are still open but need the help of visitors if they come to see the damage. Just one such place, stop by and eat breakfast or lunch. They can use the help.

Howie's place

Where was your house at Ken? Did it suffer any damage?

Glad to hear your home buyers suffered no damage.

Howie's favorite is the "Road Rash Special", strawberries and shortcakes........
