My great great grand father came here in the early 1840's to farm in the rich soil that the Mississippi river left after the 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquake. His grandson my grandfather help to save the Lake and preserve it as a state park in the early 1900's

How interesting Patsy. Thanks for sharing these pretty pictures. Have a good afternoon.
Wow, isn't that heron just beautiful? Gorgeous white feathers and tufts on its head. What a wonderful history of your family and the legacy they helped to preserve.
Great history on your family. Photos are wonderful as well. Have a great day !
Such a gorgeous and serene lake...
The pictures are awesome, so many majestic birds call the lake home.
A stunning place to have nearby. You are very fortunate.
