  • The Lake was refilled by Memorial Day of 2009. There is now a nice view of Lake Delton from Highway A and where those unfortunate people lost their homes there is now a picnic area, one of few public areas on the Lake.

  • Well, Highway A has been rebuilt already. They had at people working almost around the clock, shutting the lights off at about 3 or 4am until the morning crew came in at dawn. They hope to have the lake refilled a short time after winter. We will see. If we get as much snow is predicted for this winter it might not take too much to fill it after the melt off :)

  • I have stayed @ Sandy Beach Resort on the lakefront for 22 straight years. July 19th was our scheduled date for this year.I'm a 60 year old man near tears when I see the devastation. I have often walked past that stretch of County A to get to Port Vista.

    Good job on the video, good choice of music, it's from my era.

  • County Highway A in Lake Delton is finished and traffic will be crossing it soon, if it isn't already. They hope to have the lake filled before summer.

  • Nope, the ducks have to pay the same as all other 2-legged creatures.

  • The real truth may never come out ... but Chicago's Mayor Daley snuck over the WI boarder in the middle of the night while everybody was sleeping and pulled the plug on Lake Delton. Why, you ask? O'hare expansion.
