Isn't Lake Winnebago manmade? If so, there should be some mention of that. Tomertalk 03:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nope, it's not manmade. I added a short paragraph to the article with a mode detailed explanation. Merenta 17:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Water level regulation

Rob - locks allow a boater to get from one side of a damn to the other. It does not allow water level regulation. Presentationrentals 17:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I assume that you are talking to me. This is an open source enc., so please feel free to change as you see fit. I changed it to Locks and Dams. Royalbroil T : C 19:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Discrepancy?

Our article claims that the 1850 dams increased the size of the lake; it's not sourced, but here and here are claims that the damming flooded an additional 50,000 acres. Yet an 1844 survey gives the area of the lake as 212 sq. miles, exactly what it is today (although they seem to have the elevation wrong). I can accept that there are areas of flooded treestands, but I wonder if they're older than 1844 and an assumption is being made that the dams actually changed the lake's level, instead of (say) merely reducing seasonal variation. --Dhartung | Talk 12:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Local legend is that the lake was primarily a swamp until it was dammed by European settlers. The lake is quite shallow for its size. I have no source to back up or dispute the legend. Royalbroil T : C 23:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think that's clearly incorrect. (I'm from Wisconsin, by the way, and have been up both sides of the lake, but not on it.) I'm just wondering where these "extra" 50,000 acres came from (that's about 80 square miles!), since the lake seems to be the same reported size before the dams. Anyway, I'm thinking that a proper source for the hydrology of the lake is needed to explain it. Just putting the question out there for someone who might have access to one, that's all. --Dhartung | Talk 01:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
