I think what you would find is that with out the dam at lake port, there would be several areas that would not be navigable anymore..... Also there would be some underwater hazards that would not be so under water anymore...

And many of use with lakefront property would suddenly have larger beaches and would need to rebuild our docks further out.....

just how much does the dam raise the level of the lake I am not sure, but I would say that at least 5 or 6 feet would be gone easily with out the dam, and it probably is more then that....
