Lake Wildwood in Macon, GA, was drained in 1995. Having grown up on the lake, I was interested in seeing what was on the bottom. I filmed the process, and only recently decided to edit and share the footage.
I have also have some photos of this event online at http://www.tpldesign.com/lww/.
@ARNRF67 Yes, the lake was drained to facilitate new sewer pipes, which were to run underground beneath the lake bed. I can only speculate on the reason they decided to go under the lake...possibly it was a more direct path to the destination. I'm not sure though.

I've lived in Macon my whole life (43 years) and never knew that Lake Wildwood was ever drained. Do you know why they did it?
