Wow, is that the lake?
Drove past there last Saturday for the first time. It’s sad to think that they drained it with no future plans.

How many billions is the budget? Expect more of the same from this state. Tax money goes from your account to a black hole.
I feel for you guys. I had all I could take and took an early retirement and left the state.
It was bad enough that they run the state the way they do but I also lived in St. Clair county too. I also worked in East St. Louis the last 10 years I was there.
Ive been down here in Tennessee since 2014 and wish I could have left sooner.
Please don’t take this as a slam towards the good people in the state I’m just disgusted by the way the government up there fleeces its citizens.
This is all under federal control.

I visited little grassy about a month ago for first time ever.
Looked it over and thought.... if they take advantage of it being drained, build structure, stock baitfish, etc, that is going to be an absolutely phenomenal fishing place about four years after they open it back up.
ACOE has taken command of repairs, maybe 7 to 10 years if it's ever completed . Building a bike trail is more important.

Didn't they have to drain in to work on its and another lake's dams?
P.S. I was on call with Congressman Bost a while back where little grassy was a major topic. Don't remember details now; but I know he is aware.
Yes drained for COE assessment. I've seen no white hats on ground. Bost has stopped responding to fix Grassy emails , he's busy promoting $11million bike trail .

Well... hopefully they'll get dams or whatever fixed, build structure, and make the lake better than ever.
I can only imagine how good that lake could be for a few years if they heavily stocked grass shrimp and fathead minnows a year or two before putting in bluegill and redear.
The lake won't be back before 2030, if ever. No funding has been allocated for the project. Until the $$$ is committed, it will sit.
The bike path really ticks me off. It is complete from Carbondale to the west edge of Crab Orchard Lake. I've never seen anyone on it east of Reed Station. Trees were cut, ground was contoured, and concrete poured. The grass is already pushing up on the new path. Lack of use will lead to wasted space at a high cost. The vines and brush will reclaim it before it is ever completed.
