Muddy waters: Future of Lake Leota unknown

Appreciate what we have here on Lake Koshkonong, because once it's gone - it's gone...

Weeds and grass now grow in the spot that once put the lake in "Lake Leota Park." Drained in 2005, the lake has sat empty since, and its future is as clear as the dirt that the city would like to remove.

"At this point, there's no plans for anything," City Administrator Dan Wietecha said. "There's definitely a desire to dredge, and hopefully sooner than later, but dollars are the big question."
