HistoryEdit
In the late 1960s Floyd Templin pursued the idea to dam the Prairie River to create a lake to build houses around. He gathered some investors and proceeded to build a dam.
The lake became popular for fishing tournaments, and this caused a conflict between residents and non-resident fishermen. The Nottawa Township Board of Trustees brokered a compromise. The compromise called for a limit of 25 fishing tournaments per year and the creation of an official public boat launch.
