This Lake was used by Gales Outboard Marine Corp. to test outboard motors that they produced. The lake was ceaded to the city of East Galesburg in the late 70"s. East galesburg sold the lake to a private family in the early 90"s and it has been closed to the public since. I fished there a lot before the closing and can say the lake was fillin g with silt and needed extensive dredging and oxygen improvments.
