The first time I saw the width of the spillway I wondered how it would handle a substantial rain event upstream. I've heard stories about such events and saw a couple during my time in Ruston. Very dangerous on the back side.
Great lake now and better in the future. SLIP
I stopped and talked to my neighbor today. He and another fellow rode up the bayou to the spillway and took some pictures. It was rather odd looking to see barely a ripple separating the lake from the bayou. They also said that the tainter gate and the lake was even level.
