I don't know if it's still there, but there was a sign on the fence that explained how they built the lake. I think how it worked is that they dug the hole for the lake, used some of the dirt to build the hill inside the park and used the rest of it to build the berm along Anderson road. To fill the lake they diverted Fish Creek.
That could all be a figment of my imagination, but I can picture the wooden sign and I think it said something like that. There is no doubt that it's man made though so that beer is yours.
