The reason why the lake is like it is today is because, it's a long story so i'm going to shorten it. Kate Barlow was a school teacher who fell in love with a black onion picker. She kissed him and because it was illegal for a black man to kiss a white woman, he was going to get hanged but instead he got shot in his boat on the lake in front of Kate Barlow.
