    My aunt work at the resturant for years.
    We camped there a lot when the 2 diving boards were at the pool.
    The place has gone down some.

    Tman, the history of these lakes is pretty cool, my father-in-law helped farm Turkey Creek bottom before the lake was put in. Some of the old pics show the parking lots overflowing during the summer, the COE lakes were a hit after the initial fits about the land being taken. Bunch of old homesteads in the Grenada lake bottoms, one old well was still running water last year havent been by there this year to see if its still running or not but most likely it is.

    Between Torrence and Turkey, closer to Torrence, bet it is still running. There was another one close to chickamaw but someone broke the pipe off or it may have just rusted into.

    My father-in-law, all his brothers and sisters would catch the school bus that ran on the rail from Bryant to Bruce before road driven school bus was in that area. They lived by the track below Jenkins corner.
