Great video. Thanks for sharing. Don't want to stir up any trouble, but I was reading a few items and saw where this lake is apparently already pre-platted for residential development. Some agency, or municipality, or conglomerate has already diligently zoned every square inch for miles around the perimeter of the lake. It dictates the lot sizes, sq footage required for homes, etc. That kind of drives me nuts to be honest. Everything has been calculated before the dam is even finished. I would like to know who it was that had the foresight to draft all of this up. When you think back to the previous few lakes that opened around DFW - Lake Ray Roberts, Cooper Lake, Richland Chambers - I don't recall any such pre-zoning around the shorelines. Do any of you? Maybe they did, and I just wasn't aware of it. But I don't think so. Incidentally, the exact same thing is already in effect at Bois D'Arc Lake. Developers and city/county/state officials drew up all of the zoning before the lake even opened. And this makes pretty much everything high-dollar real estate around these 2 new lakes. Even the crumbling houses in Ladonia are listed for ridiculous prices. Sad.
I live in Delta county and we are bordered by the Sulphur Rivers. The rivers are actually canals and the actual river channels; if you watch the terrain closely, is just little ditches and depressions that run along these canals on both sides. They are typically very curvy where the canals are straight for the most part.
Amazing today with drones we can easily document historical sites that will soon be covered many score of years and even then during a severe drougt you'll only see a small glimpse of what was.
That always unfortunate but a result of humanity to many people in a small area (north Dallas) that need water I’m not saying it’s right I’m just saying what it is. The land up. There is just beautiful.
Idk, but that’s messed up. Just how many lakes do they need up there? Gotta be 50 of them within a 100 miles of DFW. We have a whopping 2 down here near Houston. We could’ve had another 35k acre pond, but Cleveland allowed “Los Terranos” to buy that land and sell to illegal aliens on “owner financed” primitive lots. Chit is getting out of hand. How many more carpetbaggers do we need moving here?
This is not beauty it's destruction. "So we've gotta build lakes for the water supply for the Metroplex." I am ashamed to live here in the Metroplex and be made to drink that water knowing how dirty this state did all the landowners who were FORCED to let go of generations of family land. Let's take Texas history away, as well as the fossil record known to be there, and cover it all up with water so the city dwellers have all they need. The state could and should have done better.
@garyjackson3531 Check out the Grainbelt Express. Missouri had to actually write legislation making the pillagers pay. Easier to find something to sue over. When they can't fight anymore, Going Out of Business Sale.
I assume they pay FMV under eminent domain laws - right? That wouldn’t be stealing. Also, water is need to support the public so it’s needed for the public good. Droughts are devestating.
@bobwhite825 Amen brother! These people commenting about "the public" needing whatever to justify stealing someone's else's heritage, livelihood, and life's work have no vested interest in this country. They own nothing, never worked the land, and have an all around communist attitude. Until it actually happens to them, and then they scream and cry like babies because they're spoilt. If it wasn't for the land owners, there'd be no USA! Unless you own land, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. That's the way the country was formed, and that's the way it should be.
No but it’s not called stealing and you know it. In my area in the hill country, extended droughts require more water for everybody. We need more lakes here. You were trying to use an incorrect, emotional argument and I called you out on it.
@craigscott7315 If something you own is not for sale but someone takes it, it is stealing. No amount of money can replace the land a family uses for their livelihood! FMV is theft. My land retuns the FMV of my land yearly. If there isn't enough water to support the people in your area you shouldn't be living there! Your opinion on land theft is immoral.
There was a lake planned south of Tyler and north of Jacksonville (Lake Columbia). I think it got Army COE approval but didn't get the private funding. I hope it resurrects at some point. Texas will need more and more water going forward.
That's what happens when you don't run off every developer who sets foot in your county. This guy is excited about a new fishing hole. For what? Because so many people move in, don't want Texas.
Who's land did the city steal? Was it one of the families that had lived there for generations? How many "politicians" did it take to bully the owners of the land into submission? Water is need for the community but, by limiting those moving in, that would not be a problem...would it. Then ALL the fun recreations that don't cost users everytime they want to do something will be covered up and buried under many feet of water so RICH land developers and the city/state can get even MORE rich! Sad commentary on man at this stage.
Very cool. What a great experience watching the build of a lake.
Great job on the video!!! Definitely appreciate you sharing!!! Will be ssssoooo awesome when it’s flooded and you can see this in comparison!!!!
Yes sir thank you

Cool video. Thanks for thinking about the future. Cool idea
Cool video, hope you make more.
Thank you I have more I’ll get them out

Just a few miles from Bug Tussle.
Everybody knows where that is.😃
Cant wait to fish that lake once it's open! I live 10min from there. Love fishing Bois D' Ark lake, its a great fishing lake
Me too

My thoughts on this side with all the displaced families who were forced off their property that had been in their family for generations!
And all for the DFW water supply.
Which families. Do you have proof of this ? Where did you get the info. ?
Like you actually care about that...
What about the land owners who are forced off of their land?
That always unfortunate but a result of humanity to many people in a small area (north Dallas) that need water I’m not saying it’s right I’m just saying what it is. The land up. There is just beautiful.
@@lancevickoutdoors its robbery... simple as that.... the home developers don't pay a penny for that... your increased property taxes do....
Idk, but that’s messed up. Just how many lakes do they need up there? Gotta be 50 of them within a 100 miles of DFW. We have a whopping 2 down here near Houston.

The State don't care.
@@dixter1652 Cry harder
I see people's livelihoods and family's legacys, not a lake.
A lot of people had their land stolen from them. The story behind the developers is sickening how big money can just steal for “ the greater good” !!!

Nice perspective on this Project. I'm one of those creek walkin' folks. Not one of them in the video, ha.
Is this where contractors took ranch land away from ranchers for this new lake?
yes
Yes
Contractors don't take land. Go learn things.
@@Buck1954 same as every lake in texas. Now go take a hot shower and think about it.
GPS the roads, tanks, creeks, fence rows and tree lines. Then you would have every bit of intel. for a fishing guide service.
Thats awesome, thanks for the video. I wish they would build a new lake in North Houston area. Don't have many lakes around here
you have a huge lake.. its called the Gulf of America
@@dixter1652 Part of the Atlantic Ocean. Not potable water.
11,000 acres.
Small.
What's going to be covered? Other peoples inheritance. I doubt anyone volunteered their ranch.
The land owners are paid.
@garyjackson3531 And if they don't want to sell?
@garyjackson3531 Check out the Grainbelt Express. Missouri had to actually write legislation making the pillagers pay. Easier to find something to sue over. When they can't fight anymore, Going Out of Business Sale.
Who’s doing the dirt work and crushing plant down there?
Every time they build a lake they steal someone’s land.
I assume they pay FMV under eminent domain laws - right? That wouldn’t be stealing. Also, water is need to support the public so it’s needed for the public good. Droughts are devestating.
@ Would you be willing to just give up your land to good old us government because they want it?

When are they gonna flood it

Yep, we gotta water the people from California.
@arklatxquad3405 California has near unlimited water. The government destroyed all of the reservoirs and now the water runs into the Pacific!
