LOST LAKE DAM

In 1926 the City of Lawton had this Cobblestone Dam built to supplement their water supply.
An Old Prospector had been working a claim on West Cache Creek and had discovered a well hidden pond. He named it Lost Lake.
Thousands of native cobblestones were gathered for the construction, thus covering the original Lake. This type of masonry with mortar has all but disappeared.
Below the Dam, Photo Opps. are numerous!

  2. I really like that last photo. The reflections are nice. Water is always so great to work with. Would love to see a closeup of those stones that make the dam. Thanks for coming by and leaving comments on Levonne's Pretty Pics. I appreciate it!
