Dehart Dam used to be one of the best places to spend a lazy summer afternoon. There’s a lovely park up there at the foot of the reservoir, you have to walk over the dam to get to it. Excellent views of the lake… I had a LOT of fun there as a kid. Sadly, inasmuch as it IS the reservoir for the whole city, they’ve been forced to close down the park. You’re not allowed back there anymore.
