USA: Dredging Begins on Simonton Lake in Elkhart

Dredging is underway on Simonton Lake to deepen a big part of the lake, including the channel between its two basins and the public access location.

The dredging is estimating to take out about 45,000 cubic yards and funds come from DNR, the Elkhart County Community Foundation, and donations from lake residents as well as local businesses.

The dredging project has been in the planning stages for a while. If all goes well, it could be done sometime in November.
