Lake Denton is a very popular local lake. It is known for it's excellent diving conditions and is very popular as a training ground or practice area for people interested in learning the ways of scuba. However, it seems the lake is too popular, as a result the local county commisioners voted to close the public lake for a period of at least one year. This logic makes no sense to most people, myself included.
As of Sept 10th they will be installing concrete barriers and a 6ft chain link fence to keep people from using the public beach access, they will also be closing off the public parking area and are trying to get a 40 hour police officer down there to monitor the location… again… I don't get it.
Why close a popular public recreation facility that will wind up costing money? Why not close 5 unpopular facilities and use their funding to help out Lake Denton?
In the meantime divers are advised to try Lake Tulane or Lake Verona… which is not a popular solution. I just wonder how many will try whay I have depicted in my comic.
